Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii A118 was isolated from a patient's blood culture. It is susceptible to several antibiotics, is naturally competent, and supports replication and stable maintenance of four plasmid replicons . A. baumannii A118 took up a fluorophore-labeled oligonucleotide analog. These characteristics make this isolate a convenient model for genetic studies.Keywords
