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 ...
