A novel nanobody-based approach for targeting heterogeneous Acinetobacter baumannii isolates and closely related pathogenic Acinetobacter spp.

This paper describes a nanobody-based method for targeting diverse Acinetobacter baumannii isolates and related species, demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing bacteria from complex mixtures.

High-resolution species delimitation in Acinetobacter baumannii using a novel Core-Gene Consensus Delimitation approach

This study introduces a novel Core-Gene Consensus Delimitation (CGCD) method to define species in Acinetobacter baumannii, identifying 11 distinct groups supported by genomic and phylogenetic analyses.

The absence of the Type VI Secretion System in the successful lineage of Acinetobacter baumannii ST19

This study sequenced A. baumannii ST19 genomes and found a loss of the T6SS locus, replaced by antibiotic resistance transposons, potentially enhancing horizontal gene transfer and population-level competitiveness.

Acinetobase: the comprehensive database and repository of Acinetobacter strains.

The paper introduces Acinetobase, a database that compiles Acinetobacter strains and their associated phenotypic and genetic data to address the heterogeneity of A. baumannii.
