ISAba1‐mediated crp‐osmC amplification enhances host‐associated fitness in Acinetobacter baumannii

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen, highly adaptable to both hospital‐ and host‐associated environments. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying its adaptability is critical for controlling its persistence. Our study identified the crp‐osmC gene cluster, flanked by ISAba1 elements, as a significant genetic structure undergoing ...

Neonatal nosocomial infections

Seminars in Perinatology, 1998
Nosocomial acquisition of infection is now the most common mode of transmission of infection in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Surveillance studies have shown rates of infection in the NICU of 15% to 20%, which are as high as those in adult medical or surgical ICUs and higher than those in most pediatric ICUs.
