Inhibition of LpxC Protects Mice from Resistant <named-content content-type="genus-species">Acinetobacter baumannii</named-content> by Modulating Inflammation and Enhancing Phagocytosis

ABSTRACT New treatments are needed for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB), such as Acinetobacter baumannii.
