INTERSPECIES COMPETITIVE INTERACTIONS OF CLINICAL ISOLATES OF ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII WITH KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE, STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, AND PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA

Interspecies Competitive Interactions of Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii With Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Many microbial infections are caused by multiple species.However, little is known about the detailed interactions and mechanisms underlying competition between coexisting pathogens.Acinetobacter baumannii is a major nosocomial pathogen that is often involved in mixed infections.To date, few studies have focused on the interactions between A.baumann

A review of virus host factor discovery using CRISPR screening

ABSTRACT The emergence of genome-scale forward genetic screening techniques, such as Haploid Genetic screen and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) knockout screen has opened new horizons in our understanding of virus infection biology.CRISPR screening has become a popular tool for the discovery of novel host factors
