Figure Lengend Snippet: Serum resistance of ST25 A. baumannii , ST2 ACICU, ST1 AYE, and ST52 ATCC 19606. The viable cells (CFU/mL) were determined for each isolate following a 5- to 60-min incubation in 20% activated serum and normalized using values obtained from incubation with heat-inactivated. The data were obtained from three independent experiments in which each isolate was tested in triplicate. *** P -values <0.001.
Article Snippet: Our study also showed that ST25 A. baumannii strains, similarly to A. baumannii strains AYE (ICL-I), ACICU (ICL-II), and ATCC 19606 reference strains, possessed an elevated ability to survive desiccation on abiotic surfaces.
