Blp1 protein shows virulence-associated features and elicits protective immunity to Acinetobacter baumannii infection
Abstract Background Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the major infection agents causing nosocomial pneumonia. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches against this bacterium are needed. Surface-exposed proteins from bacterial pathogens are implicated in a variety of virulence-relat...
