Prevalence of Acinetobacter baumannii strains expressing the Type 6 secretion system in patients with bacteremia

Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) is an important nosocomial pathogen, of major concern worldwide due to its multi-drug resistance and the recent appearance of hyper-virulent strains in the clinical set...
