Acinetobacter is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii, in particular, can cause healthcare-associated infections and may be difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance.
Actinomycetes are gram-positive bacteria, which are commonly found in nature. They produce interesting natural products, which are the basis of many of the antibiotics developed so far.
The adaptive immune response is the part of the immune defense that specifically targets certain antigens. It is mediated primarily by B and T cells and can develop immunological memory.
An animal model is a non-human animal species used in biomedical research because it can mimic aspects of a biological process or disease that occur in humans.
