The roles of history, chance, and natural selection in the evolution of antibiotic resistance
eLife, 2021 History, chance, and selection are the fundamental factors that drive and constrain evolution. We designed evolution experiments to disentangle and quantify effects of these forces on the evolution of antibiotic resistance.

Emergence, molecular mechanisms and global spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Microbial Genomics, 2019 Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen that has emerged as a global threat because of high levels of resistance to many antibiotics, particularly those considered to be last-resort antibiotics, such as carbapenems.

Mycotic aortic aneurysm caused by Acinetobacter baumannii complex: A rare case
Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2021 Mycotic aneurysms are uncommon, difficult to treat, and fatal. These aneurysms caused by Acinetobacter baumannii complex are not documented. We present the case of a 20-year-old female who presented with pain abdomen and vomiting with on and off episodes

Carbapenemases: Transforming Acinetobacter baumannii into a Yet More Dangerous Menace
Biomolecules, 2020 Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections. Although community-acquired infections are observed, the vast majority occur in people with preexisting comorbidities. A. baumannii emerged as a problematic pathogen in the 1980s
