Prevalence of Carbapenemases in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important opportunistic pathogen and causes a variety of nosocominal infections especially in Intensive Care Units (ICU’s) (BergogneBerezin & Towner, 1996; Villegas & Harstein, 2003). These infections include bacteraemia, surgical-site infections, secondary meningitis, urinary tract infections and ventilator

The transmission of nosocomial pathogens in an intensive care unit: a space–time clustering and structural equation modelling approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We investigated the incidence of cases of nosocomial pathogens and risk factors in an intensive treatment unit ward to determine if the number of cases is dependent on location of patients and the colonization/infection history of the ward.

Investigating the Mechanism of Antimycobacterial and Antiproliferative Activity of (E)‐N’‐Benzylidenepyrazine‐2‐Carbohydrazides and their Derivatives

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
(E)‐N’‐benzylidenepyrazine‐2‐carbohydrazides with 2‐OH, 2,3‐diOH or 2,4‐diOH substitution exhibit good antimycobacterial or antiproliferative activity, and iron chelation similar to salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH). A series of 33 (E)‐N’‐benzylidenepyrazine‐2‐carbohydrazides and their derivatives were synthesized and tested for biological ...

Development of a Promising Bivalent Vaccine Against Klebsiella pneumoniae Based on Glycoengineered GMMA (geGMMA)

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, with no current licensed vaccines available. This study used a mutant E. coli strain expressing exogenous polysaccharides (from K. pneumoniae) to establish glycoengineered generalized modules for membrane antigens (geGMMA) vaccine platform, which demonstrated

Vesicle-Mediated Dendritic Cell Activation in Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolate, which Contributes to Th2 Response

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, 2019
Acinetobacter baumannii, as a nonfermentation Gram-negative bacterium, mainly cause nosocomial infections in critically ill patients. With the widespread of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, the urgency of developing effective therapy options ...

Floral Origin Determines the In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Bee Pollen Collected From Western Oromia, Ethiopia

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bee pollen has been used as a medicine and food supplement. The biological activity and nutrient composition of bee pollen depend on its floral origin. Therefore, it was aimed to determine the phenolic and flavonoid content and antibacterial activities of methanolic (99.9%) extract of bee pollens among flora. Floral origin was identified using
