Description
Wook Jong Jeon and five co-authors sequence drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii taken from bloodstream infections in South Korea. Twelve strains of differing genotypes came from nine general hospitals in 2020. Sequencing mixed Illumina and Oxford Nanopore platforms, and lab testing measured drug susceptibility. Resistance and virulence genes were screened in silico.
The strains spanned twelve sequence types, including a novel one, ST3326. The dominant type, ST191, clustered closely with several others, and ST3326 grouped as its subgroup. All strains carried blaOXA-23, the gene behind carbapenem resistance, among 18 resistance genes found. Gene content for other drugs and disinfectants varied across strains.
