... Evolution Over the last few decades a harmless and saprophyte species has evolved into multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) through acquisition of resistance genes and/or the accumulation of mutations [Antunes et al., 2014; Bergogne-Bérézin, 1994]. Most MDR-AB isolates have been...

Moreover, these mechanisms could provide some insights into the biogenesis of membrane proteins during the early days of evolution, when membrane proteins were generated and inserted into the primordial membrane...
