Epidemiological and genomic analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii strains from retailed raw meat by Leila Hamze, Raquel Garcia-Fierro, Antoine Drapeau, Pauline François, Andrea Endimiani, Jean-Yves Madec, Marisa Haenni, Vincent Perreten, Agnese Lupo

“…The core-genome phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that some A. baumannii strains from raw meat shared high genomic similarity with strains associated to human infections carrying carbapenem-resistance genes and belonging to IC11 and other clonal complexes (CC) that are emerging globally, like CC33. Strains from raw meat were able to acquire genes conferring carbapenem-resistance in vitro.If A. baumannii cannot be considered as a food-borne pathogen, colonization of raw meat can favor the propagation of this species in the community, facilitating the entrance of novel clones in the hospital environment. …”
