Colistin Resistance Onset Strategies and Genomic Mosaicism in Clinical <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> Lineages
The treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections is based on colistin. As result, COL-resistance (COL-R) can develop and spread. In <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>, a crucial step is to understand COL-R onset and stability, still far to be elucidated. COL-R phenotypic stabili...
