Polyphosphate Kinase Is Required for the Processes of Virulence and Persistence in Acinetobacter baumannii

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii, one of the most successful bacteria causing severe nosocomial infection, was identified as a top-priority pathogen by the WHO. Thus, genetic manipulations to clarify the potential targets for fighting A. baumannii resistance and virulence are vital. Polyphosphate (p...
