Contamination of healthcare environment by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2022Acinetobacter 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

The Rise of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2012Acinetobacter 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.

Investigation of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ST2 in Iran
Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2021AbstractThis 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.

Incidence of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
American Journal of Infection Control, 2019Carbapenem-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, 2023IntroductionAcinetobacter 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

Nursing Home as a Reservoir of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Microbial Drug Resistance, 2015Acinetobacter baumannii is an increasingly common pathogen in healthcare settings globally. It is frequently resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents and there are recent reports on strains that are pandrug resistant. The aim of the study was to characterize the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance of
