CipA mediates complement resistance of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> by formation of a Factor I-dependent quadripartite assemblage
2022-02-17
Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is known to be one of the leading pathogens that cause severe nosocomial infections. To overcome eradication by the innate immune system during infection, A. baumannii developed a number of immune evasion strategies. Previously, we identified CipA as a plasminogen-binding and complement-inhibitory protein. Here we show that CipA strongly inhibits all three complement a...
