| genomic analysis of acinetobacter baumannii a118 by comparison of optical maps: identification of structures related to its susceptibility phenotype. | acinetobacter baumannii a118, a naturally competent clinical isolate, is unusually susceptible to several antibiotics. comparison of the optical map of strain a118 with in silico-generated restriction maps of sequenced genomes and sequence analyses showed that the abar region, commonly found inserted within the comm gene in other isolates, is missing in strain a118, which could in part explain the susceptible phenotype exhibited by this isolate. these comparative studies also showed differences ... | 2011 | 21282446 |
