Constraint-based modeling identifies new putative targets to fight colistin-resistant A. baumannii infections
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a clinical threat to human health, causing major infection outbreaks worldwide. As new drugs against Gram-negative bacteria do not seem to be forthcoming, and due to the microbial capability of acquiring multi-resistance, there is an urgent need for novel therapeu...
