Phenotypic and genomic characteristics of Acinetobacter spp. including the two novel Acinetobacter species recovered from pharmaceutical production environment in China.

we identified three carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter spp. isolates harboring blaNDM-1 and discovered two novel Acinetobacter species in pharmaceutical production environment. In this study, we isolated a total of 94 Acinetobacter spp. strains from pharmaceutical production environment in 17 cities around China, forming 17 distinct Acinetobacter clusters that comprised two novel species (n=3) and 15 previously known species.
