Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is globally notorious, and in an effort to combat the spread of such pathogens, several emerging candidate therapies have already surfaced. However, the strains used to test these therapies vary across studies (the sources and numbers of test strains are varied and often very large, with little heterogeneity). The variation complicates the studies. Furthermore, the limited standardized resources of A. baumannii strains have greatly restricted the research on the physiology, pathogenicity, and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, it is crucial for the research community to acquire a standardized and heterogeneous panel of A. baumannii. Our study meticulously selected 45 diverse A. baumannii strains from a total of 2,197 clinical isolates collected from 64 different hospitals across 27 provinces in China, providing a scientific reference for the research community. This assistance will significantly facilitate scientific exchange in academic research.
