Leveraging genomes and metagenome-assembled genomes unveils novel diversity and transmission between public transport and clinical settings in Acinetobacter
The molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter, which is almost exclusively culture-dependent, has centered mainly on clinical isolates of A. baumannii. Yet, this overlooks sources not amenable to microbial culture and many non-A. baumannii species. Here, by analysing metagenomic projects from public transport systems worldwide, we show that metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) are highly relevant…
