Resumen
Acinetobacter baumannii outbreaks have been associated with pandemic International Clones (ICs), but the
virulence factors involved with their pathogenicity are sparsely understood. Pigment production has been linked with bacterial
pathogenicity, however, this phenotype is rarely observed in A. baumannii.
