Light Regulates Acinetobacter baumannii Chromosomal and pAB3 Plasmid Genes at 37°C

Abstract

As a facultative pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii persists in various environments by sensing different environmental cues, including light. This report provides evidence of light-dependent regulation at 37°C of the expression of genes coding for a wide range of functions, including those involved in the conjugation of the pAB3 plasmid.
