The Rise of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2012
Acinetobacter spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that have become one of the most difficult pathogens to treat. The species A. baumannii, largely unknown 30 years ago, has risen to prominence particularly because of its ability to cause infections in immunocompromised patients.

Contamination of healthcare environment by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii is frequently found on floors, devices, and environmental sites in hospitals and can survive for prolonged periods and accumulate resistance determinants. The infection and presence of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) in patients is associated with increased mortality, severe clinical outcomes, and longer lengths of stay

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: A challenge in the intensive care unit

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) has become one of the leading causes of healthcare-associated infections globally, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). Cross-transmission of microorganisms between patients and the hospital environment may play a crucial role in ICU-acquired CRAB colonization and infection.

Investigation of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ST2 in Iran

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2021
AbstractThis study investigated carbapenem resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from respiratory specimens. Epidemiological relationship of the isolates was also evaluated. In this study, 81 respiratory specimens of A. baumannii from AL Zahra Hospital were confirmed by phenotypic and genotypic methods.

Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in Italy.

Annali di igiene : medicina preventiva e di comunita, 2020
Our data reinforces the need to monitor the molecular epidemiology of CR A. baumannii and its associated antimicrobial resistance genes at national level.Carbapenem-resistant (CR) Acinetobacter baumannii has been increasingly recognized as a major cause of health care-associated infections in critically ill patients and hospital outbreaks.CR A ...

Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in hospitals in Pakistan

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
The emergence of pan-resistance in bacterial pathogens poses a threat to human health. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a serious challenge, causing nosocomial infection and community-acquired outbreaks in hospitals globally, including in Pakistan.

Incidence of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

American Journal of Infection Control, 2019
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-Ab) has become a worrying health care problem, mainly in developing countries, such as Brazil. The objective was to investigate the prevalence and prognostic factors for CR-Ab infections at a Brazilian university hospital and examine the impact of inappropriate antimicrobial therapy on patient outcome.A ...

Worldwide Prevalence of Carbapenem Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2023
IntroductionAcinetobacter baumanniiis an opportunistic pathogen that can cause hospital-acquired infections. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to a significant increase in the incidence of acquired drug resistance among clinical isolates ofA. baumannii. This study aims to assess the resistance to carbapenems betweenA. baumanniiclinical isolates
