Domain-architecture aware phylogenetic profiling indicates a functional diversification of type IVa pili in the nosocomial pathogen <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>

2023-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of hospital-acquired opportunistic infections. The increasing spread of pan-drug resistant strains, paired with a surge in virulence, makes A. baumannii top-ranking among the ESKAPE pathogens for which novel routes of treatment are urgently needed. Comparative genomics approaches have successfully identified genetic changes that coinci...
