Whole-genome sequencing of NDM-1-producing ST85 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Tunisia

Over the last decade, Acinetobacter baumanni has become the most threatening of the ESKAPE pathogens in hospital settings [1]. The high level of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii is more commonly mediated by production of acquired class D carbapenem-hydrolysing β-lactamases and, to a lesser extent, class A and B carbapenemases [2,3].
