Acinetobacter baumannii Outer Membrane Protein A Induces Pulmonary Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction and Bacterial Translocation Through The TLR2/IQGAP1 Axis
Pulmonary epithelial barrier dysfunction is a critical pathophysiological process in pneumonia and associated invasive infections, such as those caused by Acinetobacter baumannii. However, the mechanisms underlying A. baumannii-induced pulmonary epithelial barrier dysfunction and bacterial transloca...
