متن کاملEssential biological processes of an emerging pathogen: DNA replication, transcription, and cell division in Acinetobacter spp.
Within the last 15 years, members of the bacterial genus Acinetobacter have risen from relative obscurity to be among the most important sources of hospital-acquired infections. The driving force for this has been the remarkable ability of these organisms to acquire antibiotic resistance determinants, with some strains now showing resistance to every antibiotic in clinical use. There is an urge...
