Role of Iron-Containing Alcohol Dehydrogenases in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> ATCC 19606 Stress Resistance and Virulence

Role of Iron-Containing Alcohol Dehydrogenases in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> ATCC 19606 Stress Resistance and Virulence

Most bacteria possess alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes (<i>Adh</i> genes) to mitigate alcohol toxicity, but these genes have functions beyond alcohol degradation. Previous research has shown that ADH can modulate quorum sensing in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>, a rising opp...
