Essential Gene Clusters Involved in Copper Tolerance Identified in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> Clinical and Environmental Isolates

Copper is widely used as antimicrobial in agriculture and medicine. Copper tolerance mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria have been proven to be required for both copper tolerance and survival during bacterial infections. Here, we determined both copper-tolerant phenotype and genotype in <i>A. ba...
