Résumé
Antimicrobial resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii is a major concern. Natural transformation remains understudied as a horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanism for the spread of resistance genes. Recent work (Vesel et al.) reveals a profound impact of the state of donor DNA methylation with strong implications for HGT of resistance determinants in this worrisome pathogen.
