• Resumen

  • 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.
