Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Infections by Gram-negative multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial species are difficult to treat using available antibiotics. Overuse of carbapenems has contributed to widespread resistance to these antibiotics; as a result, carbapenem-resistant ...

Ultrafast Structural Dynamics of BlsA, a Photoreceptor from the Pathogenic Bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2014 Acinetobacter baumannii is an important human pathogen that can form biofilms and persist under harsh environmental conditions. Biofilm formation and virulence are modulated by blue light, which is thought to be regulated by a BLUF protein, BlsA.

Carbapenemases: Transforming Acinetobacter baumannii into a Yet More Dangerous Menace
Biomolecules, 2020 Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections. Although community-acquired infections are observed, the vast majority occur in people with preexisting comorbidities. A. baumannii emerged as a problematic pathogen in the 1980s

Comparative Study for Detection of Carbapenemase Producers among Non-fermenting Gram Negative Uropathogens with Special Reference to Risk Factors and Fosfomycin Susceptibility [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019 Introduction: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the commonest type of bacterial infections. Non-Fermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli (NFGNB) are now emerging as important uropathogens.

Taxonomy of the Genus Acinetobacter with the Recognition of Acinetobacter baumannii sp. nov., Acinetobacter haemolyticus sp. nov., Acinetobacter johnsonii sp. nov., and Acinetobacter junii sp. nov. and Emended Descriptions of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Acinetobacter lwoffii [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1986 Using deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization (S1 nuclease method), we identified 12 hybridization groups (genospecies) containing 74 strains among 85 Acinetobacter strains studied. A total of 28 characters which allowed identification of the genospecies were applied to 266 strains. Of the 12 genospecies, 11 could be unambiguously identified. Genospecies 1

Emergence, molecular mechanisms and global spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Microbial Genomics, 2019 Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen that has emerged as a global threat because of high levels of resistance to many antibiotics, particularly those considered to be last-resort antibiotics, such as carbapenems.
