Extensively resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolate RCH52 carries several resistance genes derived from an IncC plasmid.

The plasmids shared by most Gram-negative pathogens, including the broad host range IncC plasmids, have not been detected in Acinetobacter species. However, it seems likely that they can conjugate into members of this genus and contribute pre-existing clusters of antibiotic resistance genes.
