Comparative genomic analysis of four multidrug resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii from the country of Georgia

ConclusionCirculating MDR A. baumannii exhibit genetic heterogeneity with variations in the structure and content of genomic A. baumannii resistance islands and encode multiple putative ARGs. This report represents the first clonal subtype information and genomic characterization of MDR A. baumannii in the country of Georgia and may inform future epidemiological investigations.
