Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the major infection agents causing nosocomial pneumonia. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches against this bacterium are needed. Surface-exposed proteins from bacterial pathogens are implicated in a variety of virulence-related traits and are considered as promising candidates for vaccine development. RESULTS: We show in this study that a large...
