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 ...

The response to desiccation in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>. [PDF]
VirulenceThe long-term resistance to desiccation on abiotic surfaces is a key determinant of the adaptive success of Acinetobacter baumannii as a healthcare-associated bacterial pathogen. Here, the cellular and molecular mechanisms enabling A. baumannii to resist desiccation and persist on abiotic surfaces were investigated. Experiments were set up to mimic the

Glycosphingolipids Recognized by Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonia, meningitis, bacteremia, urinary tract infection, and wound infections. Recognition of host cell surface carbohydrates plays a crucial role in adhesion and enables microbes to colonize different host niches.

Iron and Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilm Formation [PDF]
Pathogens, 2014 Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging nosocomial pathogen, responsible for infection outbreaks worldwide. The pathogenicity of this bacterium is mainly due to its multidrug-resistance and ability to form biofilm on abiotic surfaces, which facilitate long-term persistence in the hospital setting. Given the crucial role of iron in A.

Structure and Evolution of Acinetobacter baumannii Plasmids [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Acinetobacter baumannii is an emergent bacterial pathogen that provokes many types of infections in hospitals around the world. The genome of this organism consists of a chromosome and plasmids. These plasmids vary over a wide size range and many of them have been linked to the acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes.
