Identification of unique cardiolipin and monolysocardiolipin species in Acinetobacter baumannii

Abstract Acidic glycerophospholipids play an important role in determining the resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to stress conditions and antibiotics. Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic human pathogen which is responsible for an increasing number of nosocomial infections, exhibits broad an...
