Multidrug resistant microorganisms are forecast to become the single biggest challenge to
medical care in the 21st century. Over the last decades, members of the genus …

Bacteria secrete RNAs, some of which have effects on other cells and on other species as
signalling RNAs. Prokaryotic membrane vesicles (MVs) contain a range of RNA types. The …

Acinetobacter baumannii strain AB5075 is able to interconvert at high frequency between
virulent cells that form opaque colonies (VIR-O) and avirulent cells that form translucent …

We present the first high-resolution determination of transcriptome architecture in the priority
pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. Pooled RNA from 16 laboratory conditions was used for …

Highlights•Global annotation of gene function in bacteria from mutant fitness.•Genome-wide
interrogation of bacterial essential genes using CRISPR interference.•Microfluidic approach …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen that infects critically ill
patients. The emergence of antimicrobial resistant A. baumannii has exacerbated the need …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that causes infection in a wide variety of
sites within the human body. Its ability to adapt to the human host and to produce a …

Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) research has accelerated over the past decade, boosted by
advances in RNA-seq technologies and methodologies for capturing both protein–RNA and …

Hospital environments are excellent reservoirs for the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter
baumannii in part because it is exceptionally tolerant to desiccation. We found that relative to …

The nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is known for causing lung and soft
tissue infections in immunocompromised hosts. Its ability to adapt to various environments …
