Title:

Genetic analysis of Acinetabacter baumannii phages and their receptors

Agreement Number:

992586

Agreement Value:

$72,050.00

Agreement Date:

May 1, 2022 - Jan 19, 2024

Description:

The project is composed of three parts: (i) Identification and analysis of A. baumannii genes that allow for bacteriophage infection, (ii) deletion of endogenous prophages in AB5075 by allelic replacement, and (iii) identifying genes responsible for capsule overproduction (often the target of bacteriophages) in strains overproducing bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP
