Comparative Analysis of the Two Acinetobacter baumannii Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) Schemes

Acinetobacter species assigned to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii (Acb) complex, are Gram-negative bacteria responsible for a large number of human infections. The population structure of Acb has been studied using two 7-gene MLST schemes, introduced by Bartual and coworkers (Oxford scheme...
