Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, where
outbreaks are driven by its ability to persist on surfaces in a desiccated state. Here, we show …

For the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii, desiccation tolerance is thought to
contribute significantly to the persistence of these bacteria in the healthcare environment …

Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the
spread of the bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii on dry surfaces. Here we explore …

Desiccation tolerance contributes to the maintenance of bacterial populations in hospital
settings and may partly explain its propensity to cause outbreaks. Identification and relative …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen that causes ventilator-associated as
well as bloodstream infections in critically ill patients, and the spread of multidrug-resistant …

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 …

Multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens are one of the most pressing challenges of
contemporary health care. Acinetobacter baumannii takes a predominant position …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is known to survive
harsh environmental conditions and is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections …

Cell dormancy is a widespread mechanism used by bacteria to evade environmental
threats, including antibiotics. Here we monitored bacterial antibiotic tolerance and regrowth …

Bacterial persisters exhibit noninherited antibiotic tolerance and are linked to the
recalcitrance of bacterial infections. It is very urgent but also challenging to develop …
