Genomic Characterization of Extensively Drug-Resistant NDM-Producing Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates With the Emergence of Novel blaADC-257

Acinetobacter baumannii has become a major challenge to clinicians worldwide due to its high epidemic potential and acquisition of antimicrobial resistance. This work aimed at investigating antimicrobial resistance determinants and their context in four extensively drug-resistant (XDR) NDM-producing...
