Acinetobacter baumannii
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen primarily associated with hospital-acquired infections. The recent increase in incidence, largely associated with infected combat troops returning from conflict zones, coupled with a dramatic increase in the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, has significantly raised the profile of this emerging opportunistic pathogen. ...
متن کاملEmergence of polymyxin B-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in hospitals in Rio de Janeiro Emergência de Acinetobacter baumannii resistente a polimixina B em hospitais do Rio de Janeiro
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii has been considered a prevalent pathogen in hospitals, raising concern in the medical community due to its broad spectrum of antimicrobial resistance. Since it is a subject that arouses much interest, it has been increasingly studied. Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, the use of polymyxins was reestablished. The polym...
متن کاملTriclosan can select for an AdeIJK-overexpressing mutant of Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 that displays reduced susceptibility to multiple antibiotics.
In order to determine if triclosan can select for mutants of Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 that display reduced susceptibilities to antibiotics, we isolated a triclosan-resistant mutant, A. baumannii AB042, by serial passaging of A. baumannii ATCC 17978 in growth medium supplemented with triclosan. The antimicrobial susceptibility of AB042 was analyzed by the 2-fold serial dilution method....
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
To the editor: We read with interest the paper of Hrabák et al. [1] on the isolation of a blaNDM-1-carrying Acinetobacter baumannii strain. However, although the authors believed to be the first in the Czech Republic to report on a New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing bacterium, there have been other reports on the same A. baumannii strain in the country [2,3]. Here, we would li...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
To understand the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii and define individual risk factors for multidrug resistance, we used epidemiologic methods, performed organism typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and conducted a matched case-control retrospective study. We investigated 118 patients, on 27 wards in Israel, in whom MDR A. baumannii was isolated fr...
