Here, we demonstrate that the Hut system is conserved among pathogenic Acinetobacter and regulated by the transcriptional repressor HutC. Additionally, the Hut system is required for energy generation using histidine as a carbon and nitrogen source. Histidine was also detected extracellularly in the murine lung, demonstrating that it is bioavailable during infection. Finally, the ammonia-releasing enzyme HutH is required for acquiring nitrogen from histidine in vitro, and strains inactivated for hutH are severely attenuated in a murine model of pneumonia. T
