Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients in Libya
Strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from patients hospitalised in Tripoli, Libya. WGS was performed and they were found to have acquired multiple antibiotic resistance genes including carbapenem-resistance determinants. The isolates were also found to form 5 clusters, each of which were from different sequence types, which represented International clones 1, 2, and 7.
