• Horizontal Gene Exchange in Environmental Microbiota (2011, background): “The species of Acinetobacter are the putative hosts for these low G + C plasmids in soil ecosystem (Heuer et al., 2009), which is of concern because the closely related multidrug-resistant A. baumannii is one of the currently emerging threats in hospitals (Dijkshoorn et al., 2007).”
