Abstract excerpt
Mucoid phenotype is an important adaptive defense response for Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of mucoid phenotype for the molecular characteristics and virulence of A. baumannii. We observed that the colonies of mucoid A. baumannii were moist, with an elevated surface, and the wire drawing result was positive. Transmission electron microscopy data showed...
