Abstract excerpt
The present work describes the evolution of a resistance phenotype to a multitargeting antimicrobial agent, namely, silver nanoparticles (nanosilver; NAg), in the globally prevalent bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. The Gram-negative bacterium has recently been listed as a critical priority pathogen requiring novel treatment options by the World Health Organization. Through prolonged exposure to the...
