Trends in Microbiology, 2022 Acinetobacter baumannii is a ubiquitous, Gram-negative, nonflagellated coccobacillus bacterium commonly isolated from the environment. In human medicine, this opportunistic pathogen is responsible for hospital- and community-acquired infections. Resistance to last-resort antibiotics, such as colistin, tigecycline, and carbapenems, earns this bacterium ...

Bacteriophage-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are resensitized to antimicrobials
Nature Microbiology, 2021 We characterized two bacteriophages, ΦFG02 and ΦCO01, against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and established that the bacterial capsule is the receptor for these phages.
