The pmrCAB Operon Mediates Polymyxin Resistance In Acinetobacter Baumannii ATCC 17978 And Clinical Isolates Through Phosphoethanolamine Modification Of Lipid A [PDF]

, 2011
The emergence of multidrug resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii is leading to an increasing dependence on the use of polymyxins as last-hope antibiotics. Here, we utilized genetic and biochemical methods to define the involvement of the pmrCAB operon
