Treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii

open access: yes, 2023
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Priority 1 pathogen under the WHO list for research and discovery of new antibiotics. The epidemiology of the pathogen suggests its relevance as an important “healthcare-associated” pathogen—with the most common clinical syndrome being ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Insights into Acinetobacter baumannii protective immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomic opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria known for its extensive drug-resistant phenotype. A. baumannii hospital-acquired infections are major contributors to increased costs and mortality observed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multidrug-ResistantAcinetobacter baumannii

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
To understand the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii and define individual risk factors for multidrug resistance, we used epidemiologic methods, performed organism typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and conducted a matched case-control retrospective study.

Iron and Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilm Formation [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens, 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.

Exploring the Roles of Tuna‐Associated Acinetobacter sp. YFT067: Implications for Host Health and Metabolism

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study firstly isolated a tuna‐derived gut probiotic Acinetobacter seifertii YFT067. Dietary administration of YFT067 played significant roles in promoting growth performance, SCFAs production, lipid absorption, and metabolism of the host, indicating YFT067 as a promising probiotic candidate for enhancing tuna aquaculture productivity through ...

Prevalence of multidrug-resistant in a critical care setting: A tertiary teaching hospital experience

open access: yesSAGE Open Medicine, 2021
Background: The management of Acinetobacter baumannii infection is considered a challenge especially in an intensive care setting. The resistance rate makes it difficult to manage and is believed to lead to higher mortality.

Antibacterial Activity of Heteropolytungstates Against Proteus mirabilis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
We investigated the in vitro antibacterial activity of several heteropolytungstates against P. mirabilis, a drug‐resistant pathogen. All tested polyanions inhibited bacterial growth, with the Preyssler–Pope–Jeannin polyanion P5W30 exhibiting the highest activity (MIC = 0.78 mg/mL).
