Acinetobacter calcoaceticus from a fatal case of pneumonia harboring blaNDM-1 on a widely distributed plasmid
BACKGROUND We have recovered one bla(NDM-1)-harboring bacterial strain, designated as XM1570, from a sputum sample obtained from a fatal case of pneumonia in China. METHODS Biochemical profiling, 16S rRNA sequencing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed. Conjugation experiments were conducted to determine transmissibility of resistance. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and w...
متن کاملSerotyping of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus.
Serotyping of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus by direct immunofluorescence and a capsule swelling reaction is described. One hundred isolates, including 12 from an outbreak in a neonatal department, were studied. Ninety five per cent of the isolates were typable by immunofluorescence and could be divided into 30 separate types, but 42.1% of typable strains, including 11 from the outbreak, were of o...
متن کاملTigecycline-based versus sulbactam-based treatment for pneumonia involving multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex
BACKGROUND The treatment options for pneumonia involving multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR Acb) complex are limited, and the optimal treatment has not been established. METHODS To compare the efficacy of tigecycline-based with sulbactam (or ampicillin/sulbactam)-based therapy for pneumonia involving MDR Acb complex, we conducted a retrospective study...
متن کاملChromosome mapping in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus.
RP4-mediated conjugation was used to map the loci of 23 different mutations on a circular linkage group in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus EBF65/65. The resulting genetic map indicated that the chromosomal organization of A. calcoaceticus differed from that of members of the enteric group of bacteria and was similar to Pseudomonas in showing an absence of clustering of functionally related genes.
متن کاملGenetic analysis of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus proline auxotrophs.
Twenty-six Acinetobacter calcoaceticus proline auxotrophs were isolated after ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis. Studies using the efficient transformation system of this organism indicate that the mutations comprise therr genetically distinct groups.
