The mazEF toxin-antitoxin system as a novel antibacterial target in Acinetobacter baumannii

The mazEF toxin-antitoxin system as a novel antibacterial target in Acinetobacter baumannii

Although analysis of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems can be instructive, to date, there is no information on the prevalence and identity of TA systems based on a large panel of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. The aim of the current study was to screen for functional TA systems among clinical...
