Discernment of Acinetobacter Species in World Scenario

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023
The morphology of Acinetobacter species is Gram-negative, nonmotile, nonfermenting, Strictly aerobic, Oxidase negative, and Catalase positive. It usually results from an infectious agent and is nonpathogenic in healthy people. A.

Artificial sweeteners inhibit multidrug‐resistant pathogen growth and potentiate antibiotic activity

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing concerns of our time. The human diet is rich with compounds that alter bacterial gut communities and virulence‐associated behaviours, suggesting food additives may be a niche for the discovery of novel

Risk Factors for the Development of Colistin Resistance during Colistin Treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Colistin is one of the last-resort options for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections if novel antibiotics are unavailable, where the development of colistin resistance during treatment represents a major challenge for clinicians ...

C6 Hydroxymethyl-Substituted Carbapenem MA-1-206 Inhibits the Major Acinetobacter baumannii Carbapenemase OXA-23 by Impeding Deacylation

mBio, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii has become a major nosocomial pathogen, as it is often multidrug-resistant, which results in infections characterized by high mortality rates. The bacterium achieves high levels of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics by producing β-

Epidemiological features of healthcare-associated Acinetobacter baumannii infections in Taiwan during 2008 − 2019

Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii can reside in humans without causing infection or symptoms but can opportunistically cause community and nosocomial infections. Few studies from Taiwan have used national-level data to investigate antibiotic resistance

Risk factors for linezolid-associated thrombocytopenia and negative effect of carbapenem combination

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019
Introduction: Linezolid is a synthetic antimicrobial agent with a broad spectrum of activity against virtually all Gram-positive bacteria. Although linezolid is generally well tolerated, the prolonged use of linezolid can lead to myelosuppression ...

A retrospective study of risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae acquisition among ICU patients

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016
Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is rapidly emerging as a life-threatening nosocomial infection. In this study, we aim to identify risk factors, especially antibiotic use, for CRKP infection among intensive care unit (ICU ...
