Colistin resistant A. baumannii: genomic and transcriptomic traits acquired under colistin therapy

Comparative Genomic and Transcriptomic Characterization of Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Overall design: Two Italian XDR colistin-susceptible/resistant (COL-S/R) strain pairs were investigated. The genomic and transcriptomic characterization of colistin resistance mechanism were carried out using high-throughput-sequence-technologies (Illumina Mi-seq) and transcript analysis.
