Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates
Microorganisms, 2021 Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the
