Molecular Characterization and Clonal Analysis of Carbapenem‐Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: Insights Into Biofilm‐Related Gene Coexistence in Clinical Isolates [PDF]

Biomed Res Int
The emergence of multidrug‐resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR A. baumannii) and biofilm‐producing ability have become a worldwide serious concern. This study is aimed at investigating the clonal relationships, coexistence of carbapenemase‐resistant and biofilm‐related genes, and biofilm biomass capacity in 57 A.

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak at university hospital [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2009
Nineteen clonally related imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were recovered from eight intensive care unit patients. All isolates harboured bla OXA-51-like β-lactamase genes and showed the absence of 22 kDa fraction in outer membrane porin profile analysis.

Insights on carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Acta Biologica Szegediensis, 2021
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important nosocomial pathogen, which may be a causative agent in a wide-range of human pathologies. Carbapenems are usually considered the last safe and effective choice of drugs for the treatment of Gram-negative infections. The emergence of carbapenem-resistant A.

Characterization of newly isolated lytic bacteriophages active against Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

, 2014
Based on genotyping and host range, two newly isolated lytic bacteriophages, myovirus vB_AbaM_Acibel004 and podovirus vB_AbaP_Acibel007, active against Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains, were selected from a new phage library for further ...

Quantitative proteomics to study carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen causing pneumonia, respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. The prevalence of this lethal pathogen increases gradually in the clinical setup where it can grow on artificial surfaces, utilize ethanol as a carbon source. Moreover it resists desiccation. Carbapenems, a β-lactam, are the most
