The Wzi outer membrane protein mediates assembly of a tight capsular polysaccharide layer on the Acinetobacter baumannii cell surface
Abstract Identification of novel therapeutic targets is required for developing alternate strategies to treat infections caused by the extensively drug-resistant bacterial pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii. As capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is a prime virulence determinant required for evasion of hos...
