CpaA a novel protease from<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>clinical isolates deregulates blood coagulation
6 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen that displays high antibiotic resistance. It causes a variety of infections including pneumonias and sepsis which may result in disseminated intravascular coagulation. In this work, we identify and characterize a novel secreted, zinc-dependent, metallo-endopeptidase CpaA (coagulation targeting metallo-endopeptidase of Acinetobacter baumannii) which...
