[Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains].

Medycyna doswiadczalna i mikrobiologia, 2010
A. baumannii rods are opportunistic pathogens responsible generally for nosocomial infections. Resistance to carbapenems, observed among them, is a serious threat due to ability to be transmitted between bacterial species. The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of isolation and susceptibility to antibiotics of resistant to imipenem and/or ...

OXA beta-lactamase-mediated carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2011
Acinetobacter baumannii is a significant pathogen in health care settings. In recent years, an increase in carbapenem resistance among A. baumannii due to Ambler class B metallo-beta-lactamases or class D OXA carbapenamases has been reported. In this study we detected the presence of OXA carbapenamases and coproduction of metallo-beta-lactamases ...

Gems From the Caves: Genomic Insights Into the Biosynthetic Potential of Antimicrobial‐Producing Bacteria Associated With Tropical Cave‐Dwelling Sponges

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study reveals that cave‐dwelling marine sponges host bacteria with antimicrobial activity against multidrug‐resistant strains. The bioactive Pseudomonadaceae strains exhibited biosynthetic clusters encoding both characterized and putative antimicrobial compounds and peptides. The findings highlight their potential for discovering novel biomolecules

Characterisation of a Novel Jumbo Lytic Aeromonas dhakensis Bacteriophage P19 and Its Endolysin

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
A jumbo, lytic myovirus phage P19 against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Aeromonas dhakensis was isolated from river water. P19 demonstrated robust lytic activity, high thermal and pH stability (pH 6–10, up to 60°C), and no genes associated with lysogeny, virulence or antimicrobial resistance. ORF_358 of P19 encodes for T4‐type lysozyme.

Frequency of Metallo-β-Lactamase and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Acinetobacter Baumannii in Carbapenem-Resistant Isolates from Intensive Care Units of the Hospitals in Isfahan City, Iran

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2015
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative non-fermenting cocobacill or cocci, which is mostly found in soil, different water sources, and many healthcare environments. It is intrinsically resistance to many antibiotics.

Structural Characterization and Functional Annotation of Hypothetical Proteins in the Multidrug‐Resistant Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of severe nosocomial infections worldwide. This opportunistic pathogen is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates due to its high levels of antibiotic resistance. The identification of novel therapeutic targets is therefore a pressing global health priority.
