Five Decades of Genome Evolution in the Globally Distributed, Extensively Antibiotic-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Global Clone 1
Research Paper Five decades of genome evolution in the globally distributed, extensively antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii global clone 1 Kathryn Holt,1D Johanna J.

Here, we investigated microevolution and phylodynamics within GC1 via analysis of 45 whole-genome sequences, including 23 sequenced for this study. The most recent common ancestor of GC1 arose around 1960 and later diverged into two phylogenetically distinct lineages. In the 1970s, the main lineage acquired the AbaR resistance island, conferring resistance to older antibiotics, via a horizontal gene 2 2 transfer event.

Though reported to be the A/C1 30 plasmid RA1, p39R861-4 is a 155794 bp Type 2 A/C2 plasmid in which a 39 kb 31 segment derived from RA1 that includes a relative of the RA1 resistance island replaces 32 26.5 kb of the Type 2 backbone. p39R861-4 includes a single copy of IS10 and two 33 resistance islands with a CR2-sul2 region in each of them. The 84 kb of backbone 34 between the resistance islands is inverted relative to other known A/C plasmids and this 35 inversion has arisen via recombination between the CR2-sul2 regions that are inversely 36 oriented. The resistance islands prior to inversion were one related to but longer than 37 that found in RA1, and a form of the ARI-B island identical to one found in the A/C2 38 plasmid R55. -
