Growth of Acinetobacter baumannii in Pellicle Enhanced the Expression of Potential Virulence Factors
27 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interestingly, Acinetobacter baumannii presents an enhanced capacity to form biofilms (also named pellicles) at the air-liquid interface as compared to the other Acinetobacter species. This characteristic questions the contribution of this phenotype to an increased risk of clinical infections by this pathogen. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: By a proteomic approach using 2-D gel...
