Acinetobacter Baumannii Nosocomial Infections

Polish Journal of Surgery, 2013
Nosocomial infections caused by strains Acinetobacter baumannii strands are a growing clinical problem. The occurrence of multidrug-resistant strands is observed and that limits the ways of therapy considerably. The aim of the study was to determine the rate of infection and susceptibility spectrum of the species Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from ...

Virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii in proteins moonlighting

Archives of Microbiology, 2021
The diverse function of the moonlighting proteins in Acinetobacter baumannii is highly associated with its virulence that had spurred renewed attention in recent years. The existing and newly formed hypothetical moonlighting proteins, evolve without jeopardizing the structural constraints of their original roles.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

RecET-Mediated Recombineering in Acinetobacter baumannii

2019
Acinetobacter baumannii rapidly acquires antibiotic resistance, and its genome encodes mechanisms to tolerate biocides and desiccation, enhancing its persistence in hospital settings. Tools to rapidly dissect the A. baumannii genome are needed to understand cellular factors that contribute to its resiliency at a genetic and mechanistic level.
