    GigC, a LysR Family Transcription Regulator, Is Required for Cysteine Metabolism and Virulence in Acinetobacter baumannii

    A critical facet of mammalian innate immunity involves the hosts’ attempts to sequester and/or limit the availability of key metabolic products from pathogens. For example, nutritional immunity encompasses host approaches to limit the availability of key heavy metal ions such as zinc and iron. Previously, we identified several hundred genes in a multidrug-resistant isolate of...

    Molecular Pathogenesis
    CsrA Supports both Environmental Persistence and Host-Associated Growth of Acinetobacter baumannii

    Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic and frequently multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that primarily infects critically ill individuals. Indirect transmission from patient to patient in hospitals can drive infections, supported by this organism’s abilities to persist on dry surfaces and rapidly colonize susceptible individuals. To investigate...

    A Genomic Approach To Identify Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii Strains with Enhanced Competitive Fitness in the Lungs during Multistrain Pneumonia

    Microbial competition is most often studied at the genus or species level, but interstrain competition has been less thoroughly examined. Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen in the context of hospital-acquired pneumonia, and a better understanding of strain competition in the lungs could explain why some strains of this bacterium are more frequently...

    Contribution of Active Iron Uptake to Acinetobacter baumannii Pathogenicity

    Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen. Mechanisms that allow A. baumannii to cause human infection are still poorly understood.

    Acinetobacter baumannii OxyR Regulates the Transcriptional Response to Hydrogen Peroxide

    Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes diverse infections, including pneumonia, bacteremia, and wound infections. Due to multiple intrinsic and acquired antimicrobial-resistance mechanisms, A. baumannii isolates are commonly multidrug resistant, and infections...

    Effect of Hypoxia on the Pathogenesis of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa In Vitro and in Murine Experimental Models of Infection

    Hypoxia modulates bacterial virulence and the inflammation response through hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). Here we study the influence of hypoxia on Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

    A Light-Regulated Type I Pilus Contributes to Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilm, Motility, and Virulence Functions

    Transcriptional analyses of Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 showed that the expression of A1S_2091 was enhanced in cells cultured in darkness at 24°C through a process that depended on the BlsA photoreceptor. Disruption of A1S_2091, a component of the A1S_2088-A1S_2091 polycistronic operon predicted to code for a type I chaperone/usher pilus assembly system,...
