Acinetobacter spp. susceptibility to tigecycline: a worldwide perspective [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007 Sir, In the April 2007 issue of the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, Navon-Venezia et al. reported high resistance rates to tigecycline in multiple clones of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (n 1⁄4 82). The authors found that 66% (54/82) were resistant to tigecycline (MIC 8 mg/L), 12% (10/82) were intermediate (MIC 4–6 mg/L) and ...

Genomic and proteomic evidences unravel the UV-resistome of the poly-extremophile Acinetobacter sp. Ver3 [PDF]
, 2015 Ultraviolet radiation can damage biomolecules, with detrimental or even lethal effects for life. Even though lower wavelengths are filtered by the ozone layer, a significant amount of harmful UV-B and UV-A radiation reach Earth?s surface, particularly in

The Ecology, Biology and Pathogenesis of Acinetobacter spp.: An Overview
Microbes and Environments, 2011 Acinetobacter are a major concern because of their rapid development of resistance to a wide range of antimicrobials, and rapid profundity in transformation, surviving desiccation and persisting in the environment for a very long time. The organisms are associated with bacteraemia, pulmonary infections, meningitis, diarrhea and notorious nosocomial ...

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2017 Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. are found to be associated with biofilm and metallo-β-lactamase production and are the common causes of serious infections mainly in hospitalized patients. So, the main aims of this study were to
