Abstract excerpt
Mutations of mutS and mutL genes have been linked with the emergence of hypermutator (HPM) phenotype in several bacteria. Nevertheless, there is scarce evidence that these mutations occurred in HPM Acinetobacter baumannii, therefore, it remains unknown whether the mutations located in domains mediating the functions of MutS and MutL. To address this information gap, the nucleotide sequences of mutS and mutL were...
