Acinetobacter baumannii sampled from cattle and pigs represent novel clones

Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a very important human pathogen. Nonetheless, we know very little about non-human isolates of A. baumannii . Here we determine the genomic identity of 15 cattle and pig isolates, as well their antibiotic and virulence genetic determinants, and compare them to the main human clinical international clones.
