Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen of increasing importance due to its
propensity for intractable multidrug-resistant infections in hospitals. All clinical isolates …

Genomic studies have revealed the presence of Ser/Thr kinases and phosphatases in many
bacterial species, although their physiological roles have largely been unclear. Here we …

Protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) is generally
