Mobile genetic elements related to carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2016
Acinetobacter baumannii is widely recognized as an important pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The treatment of these infections is often difficult due to the acquisition of resistance genes. A. baumannii presents a high genetic plasticity which allows the accumulation of these resistance determinants leading to multidrug resistance.

The Synergy Between a Silver‐Ruthenium Antimicrobial and Aminoglycosides Is Based on Severe Macromolecular Damage

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 3, Page 267-282, September 2026.
AGXX enhances aminoglycoside activity against multidrug‐resistant pathogens such as uropathogenic Escherichia coli by increasing reactive oxygen species, causing protein aggregation and DNA damage. This effect is reduced by oxygen limitation or antioxidants. Polyphosphate protects cells from oxidative damage.

The effect of Meropenem stewardship at Prof Ngoerah Hospital on the prevalence of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the cost of purchasing meropenem

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Background: Irrational use of antibiotics will trigger anti-microbial resistance which is a threat to health problems now and in the future. The use of meropenem is often the last choice in using antibiotics without undergoing microbiological examination

Aetiology and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Common Bacterial Infections in Hospitalised Patients: A 2019 Multisite Cross‐Sectional Survey in Jakarta, Indonesia

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1231-1237, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the aetiology and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of common bacterial infections in hospitalised patients in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods We conducted a hospital‐wide point prevalence survey in six hospitals in 2019, capturing data from routinely ordered bacterial cultures taken before the start of antibiotic treatment.

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 ...
