CsrA-controlled proteins reveal new dimensions of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> desiccation tolerance

2021-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hospital environments are excellent reservoirs for the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii in part because it is exceptionally tolerant to desiccation. We found that relative to other A. baumannii strains, the virulent strain AB5075 was strikingly desiccation resistant at 2% relative humidity (RH), suggesting that it’s a good model for studies of the functional basis of this trait....
