Mobile genetic elements related to carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2016
Acinetobacter baumannii is widely recognized as an important pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The treatment of these infections is often difficult due to the acquisition of resistance genes. A. baumannii presents a high genetic plasticity which allows the accumulation of these resistance determinants leading to multidrug resistance.

Repurposing a drug to punish carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
The OXA β-lactamases in Acinetobacter baumannii represent a primary mechanism for resistance to the carbapenems, a class of antibiotics that represent a last line for treatment. In a screen of an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug library, we identified fendiline, a calcium channel blocker, had ...

Dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in patients with burn injuries

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2017
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important cause of infection in burn patients. This study aimed to characterize the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, determine the prevalence of oxacillinase and metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) genes, and type the A. baumannii isolates obtained from burn patients.During a 1-year period, a
