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.

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.

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

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.
