Abstract: Little is known about the functional roles of BlsA and its interacting partners in Acinetobacter species. Intriguingly, no BlsA homolog was found in several clinical isolates, suggesting that BlsA was not required inside the host… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.856953
Abstract: Acinetobacter baumannii is a catalase-positive Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes severe infections among compromised patients. Among its noteworthy regulatory mechanisms, this microorganism regulates its lifestyle through the blue light using flavin (BLUF) protein BlsA. This… read more here.
