Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clones persist on hospital inanimate surfaces

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most frequent Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens associated with hospital-acquired infection worldwide. We briefly describe A.

Extensively Drug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Nosocomial Pneumonia Successfully Treated with a Novel Antibiotic Combination

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2021
Extremely drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii causes challenging nosocomial infections. We report the case of a patient with XDR A. baumannii pneumonia and septic shock successfully treated with cefiderocol and a novel antibiotic obtained via ...

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]

, 2014
peer-reviewedBackground: The potential for the human gut microbiota to serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes has been the subject of recent discussion. However, this has yet to be investigated using a rapid PCR-based approach.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Synthesis and evaluation of troponoids as a new class of antibiotics [PDF]

, 2018
Novel antibiotics are urgently needed. The troponoids [tropones, tropolones, and α-hydroxytropolones (α-HT)] can have anti-bacterial activity. We synthesized or purchased 92 troponoids and evaluated their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus ...

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.

Acinetobacter baumannii in ICU patients: A prospective study highlighting their incidence, antibiotic sensitivity pattern and impact on ICU stay and mortality

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) was considered as a leading cause of nosocomial respiratory infection and bacteremia in many hospitals all over the world. However, there was still a debates whether colonization and/ or infection with A.

L-lysine potentiates aminoglycosides against Acinetobacter baumannii via regulation of proton motive force and antibiotics uptake

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, is a leading cause of hospital- and community-acquired infections. Acinetobacter baumannii can rapidly acquire diverse resistance mechanisms and undergo genetic modifications that confer ...

Ribotyping of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1992
The Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex consists of four genotypically distinct but phenotypically very similar bacterial species or DNA groups: A. calcoaceticus (DNA group 1), A. baumannii (DNA group 2), unnamed DNA group 3 (P.
