Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter spp.

2017
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterial pathogen increasingly identified in the clinical microbiology laboratory as a cause of infection in humans. Upon microscopic examination, A. baumannii appears as a Gram-negative coccobacillus, and it produces clear colonies when grown on MacConkey agar, indicating its inability to ferment lactose.

The Rise of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2012
Acinetobacter spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that have become one of the most difficult pathogens to treat. The species A. baumannii, largely unknown 30 years ago, has risen to prominence particularly because of its ability to cause infections in immunocompromised patients.

Acinetobacter baumannii: More ways to die

Microbiological Research, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial and opportunistic pathogen. It causes infections worldwide, especially in intensive care units. It is clinically significant owing to its ability to persist for long periods on surfaces, as well as its resistance to multiple antibiotics. This pathogen has been reported to defy the available therapeutic

Phage therapy for Acinetobacter baumannii infection

2023
Acinetobacter is a gram-negative nosocomial pathogenic bacteria. The contributing factor for the pathogenicity of Acinetobacter is severe due to its property of antibacterial drug resistance. Often antibiotic treatment is used to treat bacterial infection, however due to the resistance of a broad range of antibiotics by Acinetobacter the treatment ...

Genetic Manipulation of Acinetobacter baumannii

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2014
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram‐negative nosocomial pathogen of clinical importance. A lack of genetic tools has hindered the research of this organism in the past; however, recently, various methods have been designed, modified, and optimized to facilitate the genetic manipulation of A. baumannii.

Epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii of animal origin

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2011
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections, however the origins of these bacteria remain unclear. Sixteen A. baumannii strains collected from animals slaughtered for human consumption were investigated for their susceptibility profiles, resistance islands (RIs), class 1 integrons, insertion sequence ...

Immunobiology of Acinetobacter baumannii and Genospecies 3

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1993
Five representative, taxonomically and serologically defined clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and genospecies 3, and A. baumannii strain ATCC 19606 were examined for immunogenicity in rabbits following experimental bacteremia. All rabbits seroconverted as determined with the aid of the tube O-agglutination, indirect hemagglutination, and ...

Desiccation Tolerance Assays for Acinetobacter baumannii

2019
Acinetobacter baumannii is a hospital-associated pathogen of growing importance and is a paradigm for endemic hospital contamination. Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of A. baumannii in clinical settings through contaminated healthcare equipment and personnel.
