Metabolic responses to polymyxin treatment in acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606: integrating transcriptomics and metabolomics with genome-scale metabolic modeling

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a very problematic pathogen over the past decades, with a high incidence in nosocomial infections. Discovered in the late 1940s but abandoned in the 1970s, polymyxins (i.e., polymyxin B and colistin) have been revived as the last-line...
