Community-acquired Acinetobacter infections

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2007
Acinetobacter infections have been attracting increasing attention during recent years because they have become common in hospitalized patients, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. However, the available literature suggests that the pathogen has another fearful potential; it can cause community-acquired infections.

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 ...

Acinetobacter lwoffii infection and gastritis

Microbes and Infection, 2003
About 25% of humans with chronic gastritis are negative for Helicobacter pylori, suggesting that other bacteria are capable of causing inflammation. Bacterial overgrowth may occur in the stomach under conditions of reduced acid secretion. In this review, we will explore what is generally known about non-H.

An Unusual Presentation of Epidural Acinetobacter Infection

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2005
We report a case of spinal-cord compression caused by epidural fat infection with Acinetobacter. The initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan suggested epidural hematoma or abscess, although both were absent at surgery.A 60-year-old man had a thoracic epidural sited at the level of T8/9 for postoperative analgesia after major abdominal surgery.

Treatment outcomes of colistin and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections: an exploratory subgroup analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background We aimed to evaluate the association between mortality and colistin-resistance in infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii and the interaction with antibiotic therapy. Methods This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Acinetobacter – the trojan horse of infection control?

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2019
Five cases of multi-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii (MRA) producing OXA-23 and OXA-51 occurred in a regional burn intensive care unit (BICU). Three were repatriated from other parts of the world (Dubai and Mumbai) and colonized on admission. Despite optimal precautions, two patients acquired MRA.
