Reinforcing Lipid A Acylation on the Cell Surface of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Acinetobacter baumannii</named-content> Promotes Cationic Antimicrobial Peptide Resistance and Desiccation Survival

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging Gram-negative pathogen found in hospitals and intensive care units. In order to persist in hospital environments, A. baumannii withstands desiccative conditions and can rapidly develop multidrug resistance to conventional antibiotics. Cationic antimicr...
