Article Synopsis
- The study investigates multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, focusing on rare clinical isolates from India that produce the pigment pyomelanin.
- Researchers utilized methods like REP-PCR for genotyping and whole genome sequencing to analyze the genomic features of these isolates.
- Findings reveal that pyomelanin-producing strains are not only multidrug-resistant but also form strong biofilms with specific virulence and resistance genes, indicating advanced adaptability and potential health risks.
