Capsule carbohydrate structure determines virulence in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Capsule carbohydrate structure determines virulence in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a highly antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogen for which novel therapeutic approaches are needed. Unfortunately, the drivers of virulence in A. baumannii remain uncertain. By comparing genomes among a panel of A. baumannii strains we identified a specific gene variation...
