Impact of hcp and vgrG on Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm formation during infection of human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells

Abstract The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of key type VI secretion system (T6SS) proteins hemolysin coregulated protein (Hcp) and valine-glycine repeat protein G (VgrG) on the metabolism of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). Homologous recombination technology was used to c...
