Variation of surface polysaccharides in the ST25 clonal lineage of Acinetobacter baumannii

Cahill, Sarah M. (2021) Variation of surface polysaccharides in the ST25 clonal lineage of Acinetobacter baumannii. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project provides a novel insight into the genetics of complex surface structures present in the ST25 lineage of the multi-drug resistant bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii. The thesis employs a newly developed tool, Kaptive, to aid global tracking efforts of this pathogen and uncovers new structure variants which inform future therapeutic options.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
