Analysis of Immune Responses in Acinetobacter baumannii-Infected Klotho Knockout Mice: A Mouse Model of Acinetobacter baumannii Infection in Aged Hosts

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen that primarily afflicts elderly people. To clarify the pathogenicity of A. baumannii in the elderly, we investigated immune responses to A. baumannii ATCC 19606 infection in klotho knockout (KO) mice, the mouse model of aging. Following...
