Finally got a chance to read the paper, what a discovery. Excellent work!
Thrilled to share our latest work!  We reveal how Acinetobacter baumannii fine-tunes its Type VI secretion system through a manganese-dependent small RNA, unravelling new layers of bacterial pathogenesis! @India_Alliance @iitroorkee

Another nice story from the Pathania group @iitroorkee
Mahak, Arsalan and Amit's work shows that Fosfomycin can be used against Acinetobacter baumannii in UTIs if combined with an efflux pump inhibitor....this study also made it to the cover page of ACS Infectious diseases pubs.acs.org/toc/aidcbc/10/5
