A new subclass of intrinsic aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferases, ANT(3")-II, is horizontally transferred among Acinetobacter spp. by homologous recombination.

PLoS Genetics, 2017
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among Acinetobacter spp. have been investigated extensively. Most studies focused on the multiple antibiotic resistance genes located on plasmids or genomic resistance islands.

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

Antimicrobial Resistance inAcinetobacterspp. andPseudomonasspp

Microbiology Spectrum, 2018
ABSTRACTThe nonfermenting bacteria belonging toAcinetobacterspp. andPseudomonasspp. are capable of colonizing both humans and animals and can also be opportunistic pathogens. More specifically, the speciesAcinetobacter baumanniiandPseudomonas aeruginosahave been recurrently reported as multidrug-resistant and even pandrug-resistant in clinical isolates.

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 ...

Biofilm and metallo beta-lactamase production among the strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal

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

Efflux-Mediated Antibiotic Resistance in Acinetobacter spp [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2011
ABSTRACT Among Acinetobacter spp., A. baumannii is the most frequently implicated in nosocomial infections, in particular in intensive care units. It was initially thought that multidrug resistance (MDR) in this species was due mainly to horizontal acquisition of resistance genes ...
