Transformation and mobilization of cloning vectors in Acinetobacter spp [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1986
R300B-, RSF1010-, and RK2-derived plasmids were introduced into Acinetobacter sp. strain HO1-N and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus BD413 by transformation and conjugal mobilization. The transformation frequencies of BD413 were 4.2 X 10(6) to 6.3 X 10(6) transformants per micrograms of DNA per 10(9) recipient cells.

Defining bacterial species in the genomic era : insights from the genus Acinetobacter [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Microbial taxonomy remains a conservative discipline, relying on phenotypic information derived from growth in pure culture and techniques that are time-consuming and difficult to standardize, particularly when compared to the ease of modern

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 ...

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

Prevalence of multiresistant gram-negative organisms in a tertiary hospital in Mwanza, Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2009
\ud Antimicrobial resistance is fast becoming a global concern with rapid increases in multidrug-resistant Gram negative organisms. The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing clinical isolates increases the burden on implementing
