The transmission of nosocomial pathogens in an intensive care unit: a space–time clustering and structural equation modelling approach [PDF]

, 2010
We investigated the incidence of cases of nosocomial pathogens and risk factors in an intensive treatment unit ward to determine if the number of cases is dependent on location of patients and the colonization/infection history of the ward.

Genomic epidemiology of a protracted hospital outbreak caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in Birmingham, England [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii commonly causes hospital outbreaks. However, within an outbreak, it can be difficult to identify the routes of cross-infection rapidly and accurately enough to inform infection control.

Acinetobacter Metabolism in Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance

Infection and Immunity, 2023
Acinetobacter infections have high rates of mortality due to an increasing incidence of infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug-resistant (XDR) strains. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of Acinetobacter infections are urgently needed. Acinetobacter
