Virulence factors of the A. baumannii isolates studied. Genes constituting the same cluster presented in all isolates were combined for the sake of brevity. abaI, abaR—components of the quorum sensing system; adeFGH—efflux pump; bap—biofilm-associated protein; blp1,blp2—bap-like proteins; barAB—siderophore efflux system of the ABC superfamily; basABCDFGHIJ—proteins involved in biosynthesis of acinetobactin; bauABCDEF—receptor for ferric-acinetobactin complexes; bfmRS—two-component signal transduction system; csuA/BABCDE—Csu pili; entE—enterobactin biosynthesis; ompA—outer membrane protein; pgaABCD—biofilm formation locus; plc, plcD—phospholipase genes.
