Acinetobacter radioresistens infection with bacteremia and pneumonia

IDCases, 2019
Acinetobacter species are non-fermentative Gram-negative coccobacilli that are ubiquitous in the environment. The archetype pathogen within the genus is Acinetobacter baumannii, however, other species have the potential to cause human infection, especially in the hospital setting. We describe a patient with infection due to Acinetobacter radioresistens,

Boronic Acid Inhibitors of β‐Lactamases: A Promising Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, mostly due to the proliferation of β‐lactamases, a class of enzymes responsible for the inactivation of β‐lactam antibiotics. Among the most promising strategies to restore β‐lactam efficacy is the use of β‐lactamase inhibitors (BLIs), with boronic acid ...

Characterization of Acinetobacter clinical isolates [PDF]

, 2012
Members of the genus Acinetobacter are typical opportunistic bacterial pathogens that can survive for a long term even on inanimate surfaces. Acinetobacter species have natural and acquired antibiotic resistance mechanisms that provide resistance against

Evaluation of the Sensitivity of Acinetobacter sp. burn isolates to Ciprofloxacin and some of other used antibiotics for treatment

فصلنامه دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جهرم, 2009
Introduction: Acinetobacter sp. is usually considered to be opportunistic pathogens.  They are often multi-resistant to antibiotics, meaning that therapy and infection control are complicated.

ISAba1‐mediated crp‐osmC amplification enhances host‐associated fitness in Acinetobacter baumannii

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen, highly adaptable to both hospital‐ and host‐associated environments. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying its adaptability is critical for controlling its persistence. Our study identified the crp‐osmC gene cluster, flanked by ISAba1 elements, as a significant genetic structure undergoing ...
