Acinetobacter baumannii coordinates central metabolism, plasmid dissemination, and virulence by sensing nutrient availability

Acinetobacter baumannii coordinates central metabolism, plasmid dissemination, and virulence by sensing nutrient availability

ABSTRACTPlasmid conjugation plays an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes. The emergence of multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii poses grave challenges in treating infections caused by this notorious nosocomial pathogen. Yet, the composition, function...
