Comparative phosphoproteomics reveals the role of AmpC β-lactamase phosphorylation in the clinical imipenem-resistant strain Acinetobacter baumannii SK17 (MaxQuant 1.3 and 1.4)

Nosocomial outbreaks of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii have emerged as a serious threat to human health. The phosphoproteomics of pathogenic bacteria have been investigated for their role in virulence regulation networks. In this study, we analyzed the phosphoproteomics of two clinical isolates of A. baumannii: imipenem-sensitive strain SK17-S and -resistant strain SK17-R.
