Molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter spp. from clinical samples at Jimma medical center, Ethiopia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionPseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) can cause difficult-to-treat infections. We characterized molecular epidemiology of ceftazidime-resistant P. aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii at

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

Evaluation of carriage and environmental contamination by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2016
We evaluated the sensitivity of surveillance cultures for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in patients and in their environment. Patients with a CRAB-positive clinical culture were sampled within 7 days; the buccal mucosa and rectum were sampled using swabs, and skin was sampled using pre-moistened sterile sponges.

Fanny pack transmission of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2023
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a gram-negative coccobacillus that has garnered notoriety as a formidable cause of nosocomial infection with significant mortality. This organism poses a significant threat due to its multitude of resistance mechanisms and ability to endure within the environment. In the summer of 2022,

The transmission of nosocomial pathogens in an intensive care unit: a space–time clustering and structural equation modelling approach

, 2010
We investigated the incidence of cases of nosocomial pathogens and risk factors in an intensive treatment unit ward to determine if the number of cases is dependent on location of patients and the colonization/infection history of the ward.

Molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii in cerebrospinal fluid and blood.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) caused nosocomial infections generate significant comorbidity and can cause death among patients. Current treatment options are limited.
