<h4>Background</h4>Iron acquisition systems are important virulence factors in pathogenic bacteria. To identify these systems in Acinetobacter baumannii, the transcriptomic response of the completely sequenced strain ATCC 17978 under iron limiting conditions was investigated using a genomic microarray that contained probes for all annotated open reading frames.<h4>Results</h4>Under low iron conditions, transcription levels were more than 2-fold up-regulated for 463 genes, including 95 genes that ...[more]
