Select operons with putative virulence function found in A. baumannii ATCC 19606T and not in A. calcoaceticus.

Bios., Biosynthesis; Form., Formation; ID, Identity; SD, Standard Deviation; Transp., Transport.1Based on Microbial Genome Annotation Platform (www.cns.fr/agc/mage) [55].2Expressed as the average identity at the nucleotide level ± standard deviation.3Only three, two and two genes (out of eight) are found in A. pittii, A. nosocomialis and A. calcoaceticus, respectively. The homologues identified exhibited low similarity.4Both genes belong to an LPS operon that spans from ORF ACIB1v1_600009 to 16, and which is only partially present within A. calcoaceticus (three of eight genes are absent).5lpsC is absent from A. pittii genome.6Only vipA is present in A. calcoaceticus and exhibited moderate similarity. The operon is poorly conserved and partially present also in A. pittii and A. nosocomialis.
