malfunction | point mutations in the PmrA/B two-component system lead to colistin resistance | Acinetobacter baumannii |
metabolism | the development of a moderate level of colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii requires distinct genetic events, including (i) at least one point mutation in pmrB, (ii) upregulation of pmrAB, and (iii) expression of pmrC, which lead to addition of phosphoethanolamine to lipid A | Acinetobacter baumannii |
physiological function | phosphoethanolamine modification of lipid A in colistin-resistant variants of Acinetobacter baumannii, e.g. strain ATCC 19606, is mediated by the pmrAB two-component regulatory system | Acinetobacter baumannii |
