Acinetobacter baumannii adapts to different environmental conditions by expressing complex regulatory circuitry. Recent studies revealed that this circuitry includes regulatory factors that control the emergence of distinct bacterial subpopulations, which are critical for the capacity of this pathogen to persist in medical settings and cause infections in compromised hosts.
鲍曼不动杆菌通过表达复杂的调控回路来适应不同的环境条件。最近的研究表明,该回路包括调控因子,这些调控因子控制着不同细菌亚群的出现,这对于该病原体在医疗环境中持续存在并在受损宿主中引起感染的能力至关重要。
