Amikacin resistance plasmids in extensively antibiotic-resistant GC2 Acinetobacter baumannii from two Australian hospitals.

tions. To allow the database to reflect the content of the live repositories to within a useful time frame, any regular automated updates of the reference database from live repositories could label new alleles with ‘provisional’ designations prior to committee approval. As a method for identifying resistance genes from WGS data the use of a reference pseudomolecule/database may yet be superseded, but the above model is attractive for use against highly clinically relevant factors including metallo-carbapenemases and other antimicrobial resistance factors.
