Outbreaks and infections caused by multi-drug resistant <jats:italic>A. baumannii<\/jats:italic> are prevalent worldwide, with only a few antibiotics are currently available for treatments. Plasmids represent an ideal vehicle for acquiring and transferring resistance genes in <jats:italic>A. baumannii<\/jats:italic>. Five extensively drug-resistant <jats:italic>A. baumannii<\/jats:italic> clinical isolates from three major Jordanian hospitals were fully sequenced. Whole-Genome Sequences (WGS) were used to study the antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, sequence types, and phylogenetic relationship of the isolates. Plasmids were characterized <jats:italic>In-silico<\/jats:italic>, followed by conjugation, and plasmid curing experiments. Eight plasmids were recovered; resistance plasmids carrying either aminoglycosides or sulfonamide genes were detected. Chromosomal resistance genes included <jats:italic>bla<jats:sub>OXA-66<\/jats:sub>, bla<jats:sub>OXA-91<\/jats:sub>, and bla<jats:sub>OXA-23,<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic>and the detected virulence factors were involved in biofilm formation, adhesion, and many other mechanisms. Conjugation and plasmid curing experiments resulted in the transfer or loss of several resistance phenotypes. Plasmid profiling along with phylogenetic analyses revealed high similarities between two <jats:italic>A. baumannii<\/jats:italic> isolates recovered from two different intensive care units (ICU). The high similarities between the isolates of the study, especially the two ICU isolates, suggest that there is a common <jats:italic>A. baumannii<\/jats:italic> strain prevailing in different ICU wards in Jordanian hospitals. Three resistance genes were plasmid-borne, and the transfer of the resistance phenotype emphasizes the role and importance of conjugative plasmids in spreading resistance among <jats:italic>A.

strains.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.14709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,25]],"date-time":"2023-01-25T09:38:53Z","timestamp":1674639533000},"page":"e14709","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Extensively
