TL;DR: While Colistin resistance in A. baumannii confers a clear selective advantage in the presence of colistin treatment, it causes a noticeable cost in terms of overall fitness and virulence, with a more striking reduction associated with LPS loss than with phosphoethanolamine addition.

TL;DR: Increased plasma levels of natriuretic peptides in patients with obstructiveJaundice may reflect a subclinical myocardial dysfunction correlating with the degree of jaundice, and after internal biliary drainage, there is a measurable improvement of cardiac function.

TL;DR: It is proposed that recombinant goat chymosin represents a serious alternative to recombinant bovine chymOSin for use in the cheesemaking industry.

TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy and adhesion experiments demonstrated that inactivation of the AbFhaB/FhaC system significantly decreases bacterial attachment to A549 alveolar epithelial cells, and it has been demonstrated that this 2-partner secretion system is involved in fibronectin-mediated adherence of the A. baumannii AbH12O-A2 isolate.

TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy and biofilm assays showed that inactivation of LH92_11085 gene significantly reduced bacterial attachment to A549 cells and bio film formation on plastic, respectively, indicating the potential role this LH92-110 85 gene could play in the pathobiology of A baumannii.
