Experimental Models of Acinetobacter Infection [PDF]

, 2008
The use of animals as models for microbiological infections is a fundamental part of infectious disease research. The intent for the use of animals as models of disease is to establish an infection that mimics that seen in humans (Druilhe et al., 2002). The goal is to seek how the infection develops, and by what the infection can be thwarted.

Recent Progress in Phage Therapy to Modulate Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, including in Human and Poultry

Antibiotics, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant and invasive pathogen associated with the etiopathology of both an increasing number of nosocomial infections and is of relevance to poultry production systems.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Recent Clinical Acinetobacter and Species Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia at Shinshu University Hospital [PDF]

, 2004
For empiric therapy against infections,it is most important to select antibiotics on the basis of statistical analyses of drug-resistance of the bacteria isolated in a hospital or a region.

Broad‐Spectrum, Cell Envelope‐Active Marinocyclin Antibiotics From a Coral‐Derived Bacterium Are Effective Against Colistin‐Resistant Bacteria

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.

Multidrug Resistant Acinetobacter in Patient with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia: Review Article [PDF]

Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University, 2019
Acinetobacter is a complex genus, with multiple species. Acinetobacter species are the common etiology of nosocomial infections, principally nosocomial pneumonia catheter-associated bacteremia and urinary tract infections.

Pyogenic Liver Abscess Caused by Acinetobacter lwoffii: A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Acinetobacter lwoffii is a gram negative aerobic non-fermenter bacilli. It is considered as an important emerging pathogen after Acinetobacter baumannii in patients with impaired immune system and in nosocomial infections.

The crystal structure of the Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase BBE22 resolves a long‐standing annotation error

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase (PncA/BBE22) reveals the correct full‐length protein initiated from a non‐canonical AUU start codon. The structure validates previous biochemical findings and resolves a long‐standing annotation error, demonstrating that the truncated database sequence is structurally incompatible with the ...

Chemoenzymatic Radiosynthesis of a Gluconate Transporter‐Targeted In Vivo Bacterial Sensor From Clinical [18F]FDG

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An efficient radiosynthesis of fluorine‐18 labeled gluconic acid ([18F]FGA) was developed using two readily available materials, 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐D‐glucose ([18F]FDG) and glucose oxidase. [18F]FGA is highly specific for bacterial gluconate metabolism mediated by gluconate permease (GntP) and gluconate kinase (GntK), with rapid clearance, low off ...

Hydrogels Augmented With Artificial Sweeteners can Inhibit Multidrug‐Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Growth and Biofilm Formation While Demonstrating Safety in Pre‐Clinical Pilot Human Trials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Using PVA–borax hydrogels as carriers for off‐the‐shelf artificial sweeteners to fight multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii. These soft, biocompatible hydrogels rapidly reduce bacterial viability within multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii biofilms by more than 99% within one hour and sustain antimicrobial activity over time, while demonstrating safety in both
