Human Pleural Fluid Elicits Pyruvate and Phenylalanine Metabolism in Acinetobacter baumannii to Enhance Cytotoxicity and Immune Evasion
17 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) is one of the most treacherous pathogens among those causing hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). A. baumannii possesses an adaptable physiology, seen not only in its antibiotic resistance and virulence phenotypes, but also in its metabolic versatility. In this study, we observed that A. baumannii undergoes global transcriptional changes in response to human pleural fluid (PF), a key...
