Figure 2From: Virulence-related traits of epidemic Acinetobacter baumannii strains belonging to the international clonal lineages I-III and to the emerging genotypes ST25 and ST78 Resistance to desiccation. Resistance to desiccation of A. baumannii strains. Strains were inoculated onto rounded glass cover slips and incubated at 31% relative humidity and room temperature. A starting bacterial inoculum of ~ 2 × 107 per cover slip was used. Values represent the mean of three independent experiments.Back to article page
