| T1 |
129-220 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
molecular identification methods and mass spectrometry has revealed that Acinetobacter spp. |
| T2 |
221-373 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
of the A. baumannii (Ab) group other than A. baumannii are increasingly being recovered from human samples and may pose a health challenge if neglected. |
| T3 |
374-727 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
In this study 76 isolates of 5 species within the Ab group (A. baumannii n = 16, A. lactucae n = 12, A. nosocomialis n = 16, A. pittii n = 20, and A. seifertii n = 12), were compared in terms of antimicrobial susceptibility, carriage of intrinsic resistance genes, biofilm formation, and the ability to kill Caenorhabditis elegans in an infection assay. |
| T4 |
728-875 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In agreement with previous studies, antimicrobial resistance was common among A. baumannii while all other species were generally more susceptible. |
| T5 |
876-1147 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Carriage of genes encoding different efflux pumps was frequent in all species and the presence of intrinsic class D β-lactamases was reported in A. baumannii, A. lactucae (heterotypic synonym of A. dijkshoorniae) and A. pittii but not in A. nosocomialis and A. seifertii. |
| T6 |
1148-1305 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
A. baumannii and A. nosocomialis presented weaker pathogenicity in our in vitro and in vivo models than A. seifertii, A. pittii and, especially, A. lactucae. |
| T7 |
1306-1430 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Isolates from the former species showed decreased biofilm formation and required a longer time to kill C. elegans nematodes. |
| T8 |
1431-1672 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
These results suggest relevant differences in terms of antibiotic susceptibility patterns among the members of the Ab group as well as highlight a higher pathogenicity potential for the emerging species of the group in this particular model. |
| T9 |
1673-1765 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Nevertheless, the impact of such potential in the human host still remains to be determined. |
