Diversity and Function of Capsular Polysaccharide in Acinetobacter baumannii.

abstract：:Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are the leading indication for antibacterial prescriptions despite a viral etiology in the majority of cases. The lack of available diagnostics to discriminate viral and bacterial etiologies contributes to this discordance. Recent efforts have focused on the host respons...
