Genomic characterization of the virulence-associated pyomelanin biosynthetic pathway in pigment-producer strains from the pandemic <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> IC-5

2020-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Acinetobacter baumannii outbreaks have been associated with pandemic International Clones (ICs), however the virulence factors involved with their pathogenicity are sparsely understood. <h4>OBJECTIVES</h4> This study aimed to characterize the reddish-brown pigment produced by A. baumannii strains, and to determine its biosynthetic pathway by genomic approaches. <h4>METHODS</h4> Pigment ch...
