Enrichment of Acinetobacter spp. from food samples

Food Microbiology, 2016
Relatively little is known about the role of foods in the chain of transmission of acinetobacters and the occurrence of different Acinetobacter spp. in foods. Currently, there is no standard procedure to recover acinetobacters from food in order to gain insight into the food-related ecology and epidemiology of acinetobacters. This study aimed to assess

Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter spp.

2017
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterial pathogen increasingly identified in the clinical microbiology laboratory as a cause of infection in humans. Upon microscopic examination, A. baumannii appears as a Gram-negative coccobacillus, and it produces clear colonies when grown on MacConkey agar, indicating its inability to ferment lactose.

Treatment of Acinetobacter spp. infections

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2003
Acinetobacter spp. are predominantly nosocomial pathogens of growing importance. One of their important features is antimicrobial resistance that includes beta-lactams, aminoglycosides and quinolones. Imipenem, considered the most effective drug against Acinetobacter spp., is not universally active against clinical isolates and therapeutic options are ...

Radiation resistance of acinetobacter SPP

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 1995
Abstract The radiation resistance of 78 different strains of Acinetobacter sp. 42 from clinical isolates and 36 from other sources were compared with 15 clinical isolates and 12 other strains from Denmark. None of the Canadian strains was as resistant as resistant-enhanced Danish strains. Four strains had D 10 values of 3.1–3.6 kGy. Irradiated and

Biodegradation of Carbazole by Newly Isolated Acinetobacter spp.

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011
In this study, two bacterial isolates designated Alp6 and Alp7 were isolated from soil collected from dye industries and screened for their ability to degrade carbazole. Growing cells of the isolates Alp6 and Alp7 could degrade 99.9% and 98.5% of carbazole, respectively in 216 h.

Hospital infection with Acinetobacter spp.: an increasing problem

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1991
During the last few years, among nosocomial pathogens, Acinetobacter spp. have given rise to an increasing number of nosocomial infections. Acinetobacter strains are widely distributed in nature; in hospitals, the human skin is the likely source for most outbreaks of hospital infections.

Importance of Acinetobacter spp.

2008
An enormous number of bacterial species exist in nature and the human environment with important roles in natural chemical and biological cycles involved in the agricultural aspects of food and industrial activity. However, only a relatively limited number of microbes are recognized as important pathogens for humans and causes of clinical infections ...

Acinetobacter spp. and time-kill studies

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007
Sir, Multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter spp. have become a worldwide threat for hospitalized patients in recent years. Two papers recently published in JAC referred to in vitro tests of combinations destined to kill carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter isolates.

Characteristics of clinicalAcinetobacter spp. strains

Folia Microbiologica, 2002
Resistance to 13 antimicrobial agents, resistance to the bactericidal activity of human serum, hydrophobic properties, lipolytic activity and production of histamine were determined in a total of 50 clinical Acinetobacter spp. strains (A. baumannii, A. lwoffii, A. calcoaceticus, A. haemolyticus).

Characterization of oligonucleotide probes for the identification of Acinetobacter spp., A. baumannii and Acinetobacter genomic species 3

Research in Microbiology, 1998
The 16S-23S intergenic spacer regions of four Acinetobacter genomic species belonging to the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii (Acb) complex, i.e. genomic species 1 (A. calcoaceticus), genomic species 2 (A. baumannii), genomic species 3 and Tjernberg and Ursing (TU) genomic species 13, have been cloned and sequenced.
