ISAba1-dependent overexpression of eptA in clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to colistin
14 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii often results from mutational activation of the two-component system PmrAB and subsequent addition of phospho-ethanolamine (pEtN) to lipooligosaccharide by up-regulated pEtN transferase PmrC. OBJECTIVES: To characterize mechanisms of colistin resistance independent of PmrCAB in A. baumannii. METHODS: Twenty-seven colistin-resistant A. baumannii were...
