Acinetobacter spp. in neonatal sepsis: an urgent global threat. [PDF]

Front Antibiot
Neonatal sepsis causes substantial morbidity and mortality, the burden of which is carried by low-income countries (LICs). The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens in vulnerable neonatal populations poses an urgent threat to infant survival ...

Acinetobacter spp. as reservoirs of carbapenem resistance

, 2011
Acinetobacter baumannii, microorganisme responsable d’infections nosocomiales survenant le plus souvent par épidémies, pose un problème émergent de multi-résistance aux antibiotiques, notamment aux carbapénèmes. Cette résistance aux carbapénèmes est le plus souvent liée à l’acquisition et à l’expression de gènes codant pour des b-lactamases de classe D

Tolerance of foodborne Acinetobacter spp. to sanitizer agents

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2022
Introduction: The bacteria Acinetobacter spp. are extremely relevant in clinical settings. Recently, they have emerged as potential food-borne opportunistic pathogens. Their ability to form biofilms contributes to antibiotic resistance by generating an environment that facilitates the acquisition and transfer of resistance genes.

Acinetobacterspp. in Gunshot Injuries

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To the Editor: Challenges posed by Acinetobacter spp. result from multidrug resistance, nosocomial spread, and hospital-wide outbreaks (1–3). We evaluated Acinetobacter spp. infections from gunshot injuries received during the April 2006 East Timor conflict (for a description of these events and further reading, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki ...

Acinetobacter radioresistensas a Silent Source of Carbapenem Resistance forAcinetobacterspp [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2008
ABSTRACTCarbapenem resistance results mostly from the expression of acquired carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinases inAcinetobacter baumannii. TheblaOXA-23oxacillinase gene is increasingly reported worldwide and may represent an emerging threat. Our goal was to identify the progenitor of that carbapenemase gene. A collection of 50Acinetobactersp. strains

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.
