Thioredoxin-A is a virulence factor and mediator of the type IV pilus system in Acinetobacter baumannii.
The Gram-negative pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a global nosocomial health threat affecting the majority of hospitals in the U.S. and abroad. The redox protein thioredoxin has been shown to play several roles in modulation of cellular functions affecting various virulence factors...
