Reservoirs of Non-baumannii Acinetobacter Species [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Acinetobacter spp. are ubiquitous gram negative and non-fermenting coccobacilli that have the ability to occupy several ecological niches including environment, animals and human. Among the different species, Acinetobacter baumannii has evolved as global pathogen causing wide range of infection.

Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporinase in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2010 ABSTRACT An AmpC-type β-lactamase conferring high-level resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and monobactams was characterized from an Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolate. This class C β-lactamase (named ADC-33) possessed a Pro210Arg substitution together with a duplication of an Ala residue
