Abstract: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacteria associated primarily with hospital-acquired infections. Its tendency to acquire or donate resistance genes to neighboring bacteria is a major concern. Tetracyclines have shown promise in treating A. baumannii infections,… read more here.
