“…These monomeric or trimeric β-barrel proteins, also known as porins, connect the external environment to the periplasmic space, allowing the diffusion of nutrients as well as small molecules, antibiotics, and disinfectants [ 18 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 51 ]. To date, identified Omps in A. baumannii are OmpA, CarO, OprD-like, Omp33-36 kDa, OmpW, AbuO, TolB, DcaP, Oma87/BamA, NmRmpM, CadF, OprF, LptD [ 18 , 41 , 44 ]. Besides its role in antibiotic-resistance, OmpA plays a central role in A. baumannii virulence, including, serum resistance, biofilm formation, host-interaction, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis [ 11 , 18 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 122 ].…”
