Potassium ion homeostasis is essential for bacterial survival, playing roles in
osmoregulation, pH homeostasis, regulation of protein synthesis, enzyme activation …

Gram-negative pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the leading cause of nosocomial infections throughout the …

Potassium is an essential mineral nutrient required by all living cells for normal physiological
function. Therefore, maintaining intracellular potassium homeostasis during bacterial …

The intracellular K+ level in bacteria is strictly controlled by K+ uptake and efflux systems.
Among these, KdpFABC is a high-affinity K+ transporter system that is generally activated by …

Kdp-ATPase is an inducible high affinity potassium uptake system that is widely distributed
in bacteria, and is generally regulated by the KdpD/KdpE two-component system (TCS). In …

Aeromonas dhakensis is an emerging pathogen that is harmful to humans and aquaculture
in tropical areas. The aim of this study was to understand the role of the two-component …

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a major human pathogen and a
research priority for developing new antimicrobial agents. CRAB is a causative agent of a …

Acinetobacter baumannii causes severe infections in humans, resists multiple antibiotics,
and survives in stressful environmental conditions due to modulations of its complex …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that has acquired resistance to all
available drugs. The rise in multi-drug resistance in A. baumannii has been exacerbated by …

Pathogenic bacteria have developed several mechanisms to thrive within the hostile
environment of the human host, but it is often disregarded that their survival outside this …
