Loss of a Branch Sugar in the Acinetobacter baumannii K3-Type Capsular Polysaccharide Due To Frameshifts in the gtr6 Glycosyltransferase Gene Leads To Susceptibility To Phage APK37.1
ABSTRACT The type of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) on the cell surface of Acinetobacter baumannii can determine the specificity of lytic bacteriophage under consideration for therapeutic use.
