Its antimicrobial resistance is escalating, leading to less efficient treatments, and an increasing interest in identifying new therapeutic drugs. Metals as antimicrobials are vital in healthcare and agriculture, and copper-containing surfaces are known to reduce microbial counts, also in clinical settings. Indeed, copper (Cu) is an essential element required for survival in all organisms from bacteria to humans, but nevertheless elevated levels are highly toxic for cells. Through different regulatory mechanisms, cells maintain Cu homeostasis, and ion channels and transporters are critical in this process. Precise understanding of such ion transport requires insight into the protein structures of the involved proteins, which will also provide information important for applied sciences. Considering the medical significance of <em>A. baumannii</em> and the possibility to exploit Cu to handle such infections, channels and transporters represent appealing targets.
