Outbreak of Achromobacter xylosoxidans in an Italian Cystic fibrosis centre: genome variability, biofilm production, antibiotic resistance, and motility in isolated strains

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients have chronic airway infection and frequent exposure to antibiotics, which often leads to the emergence of resistant organisms. Achromobacter xylosoxidans is a new emergent pathogen in CF spectrum. From 2005 to 2010 we had an outbreak in A. xylosoxidans prevalence in our...
