<jats:p>
This work demonstrates the underrated presence of
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Acinetobacter baumannii</jats:named-content>
heteroresistant subpopulations after exposure of
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">A. baumannii</jats:named-content>
strains to FDC and its instability. Both
<jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">A. baumannii</jats:named-content>
and FDC are of great interest for the scientific community, as well as for clinicians; the former represents a major threat to public health due to its resistance to antibiotics, with related costs of prolonged hospitalization, and the latter is a novel, promising cephalosporin currently under the magnifying glass.
