Functional Characterization of AbeD an RND-Type Membrane Transporter in Antimicrobial Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

摘要

Background Acinetobacter baumannii is becoming an increasing menace in health care settings especially in the intensive care units due to its ability to withstand adverse environmental conditions and exhibit innate resistance to different classes of antibiotics. Here we describe the biological contributions of abeD, a novel membrane transporter in bacterial stress response and antimicrobial resistance in A. baumannii.
