Acinetobacter baumannii outer membrane protein A (AbOmpA) is involved in bacterial pathogenesis. However, the role of AbOmpA in the antimicrobial resistance of A. baumannii has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the role of the OmpA-like domain of AbOmpA in the antimicrobial resistance of A. baumannii.
