Acinetobacter Infections in Neonates

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2018
MDR-Gram-negative bacteria are a great concern in the neonatal population, with a worldwide rise in the reported incidence and with very limited therapeutic options. Acinetobacter baumannii is responsible for many infections in neonates and outbreaks in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU); also, outbreaks caused by other Acinetobacter species have been

Nosocomial bloodstream infections due to Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter pittii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis in the United States

Journal of Infection, 2012
To compare the clinical features and antimicrobial susceptibilities of the clinically most important Acinetobacter species Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter pittii (formerly Acinetobacter genomic species 3) and Acinetobacter nosocomialis (formerly Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU).295 Acinetobacter isolates collected prospectively from patients ...

Managing Acinetobacter baumannii infections

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2019
Purpose of review We reviewed recent data about epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii, resistance mechanisms, and therapeutic options for severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant strains. Recent findings A.

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus–Acinetobacter baumannii complex with the proposal of Acinetobacter pittii sp. nov. (formerly Acinetobacter genomic species 3) and Acinetobacter nosocomialis sp. nov. (formerly Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU)

Research in Microbiology, 2011
Acinetobacter genomic species (gen. sp.) 3 and gen. sp. 13TU are increasingly recognized as clinically important taxa within the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) complex. To define the taxonomic position of these genomic species, we investigated 80 strains representing the known diversity of the ACB complex.

Acinetobacter in modern warfare

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2012
Increasing appreciation of the role of Acinetobacter baumannii in the aetiology of severe nosocomial infections, together with its ability to employ several mechanisms to rapidly develop resistance to multiple classes of antimicrobial agents, has led to growing interest in this organism over recent years. Recognition and subsequent investigation of the

Treatment of Acinetobacter infections

Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 1997
Gram-negative non-fermentative aerobic bacilli are becoming increasingly more involved in nosocomial infections. It has generally been recognised that the members of the Acinetobacter genus are among the most common agents responsible for severe hospital infections; their clinical importance has increased due to the development of antibacterial ...

Acinetobacter bacteriocin typing

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1986
A technique for typing Acinetobacter sp. by bacteriocin production has been developed. One hundred and seventy-six cultures from patients in outbreaks, in the community and environmental sources were identified, tested for sensitivity to gentamicin and bacteriocin typed; 154 were A. anitratus and the remainder A.lwoffi.
