Phenotypic changes associated with Colistin resistance due to Lipopolysaccharide loss in Acinetobacter baumannii

Acinetobacter baumannii can acquire resistance to colistin via complete loss of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis due to mutations in the lpxA, lpxC and lpxD genes. However, although colistin is increasingly being used for the treatment of multidrug resistant infections, very few A. baumannii cl...
