Genomic analyses revealed that Acinetobacter sp. VT-511 harbors numerous antibiotic resistance genes that catalyze uptake, efflux, diffusion, solute exchange, and other mechanisms of bacterial defense against antibiotics. The organism also harbors genes encoding resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides. Finally, the spores produced by VT-511 contribute significantly to the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
