Bautype: Capsule and Lipopolysaccharide Serotype Prediction for Acinetobacter baumannii Genome
Abstract.Acinetobacter baumannii has three clusters of genes for polysaccharide synthesis.Capsular polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides are major virulence determinants in many Gram-negative bacteria, and play key roles in the overall fitness and virulence in A.baumannii, meanwhile poly-beta-1-6-N-acetylglucosamine was critical for biofilm forma
