Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infection while receiving tigecycline: a cautionary report.
OBJECTIVES Tigecycline has shown in vitro activity against Acinetobacter baumannii. Yet, published clinical experience with tigecycline use outside clinical trials is lacking. We describe, for the first time, bloodstream infection caused by tigecycline-non-susceptible A. baumannii occurring in patients receiving tigecycline for other indications. The possible mechanisms of resistance and pharma...
متن کاملAcinetobacter baumannii Genes Required for Bacterial Survival during Bloodstream Infection
Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a leading global multiple-antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogen. The identity of genes essential for pathogenesis in a mammalian host remains largely unknown. Using transposon-directed insertion-site sequencing (TraDIS), we identified A. baumannii genes involved in bacterial survival in a leukopenic mouse model of bloodstream infection. Mice were inocul...
متن کاملAcinetobacter baumannii neonatal mastitis: a case report
INTRODUCTION Neonatal mastitis is a rare infection. When it does occur, infants younger than 2 months of age are typically affected and the majority of cases are caused by Staphylococcus aureus. We present the first reported case of neonatal mastitis caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, an unusual organism for this type of infection. CASE PRESENTATION A 15-day-old full-term Caucasian male neona...
متن کاملA case report of intraventricular tigecycline therapy for intracranial infection with extremely drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
RATIONALE Intracranial infection with Acinetobacter baumannii is a tough problem due to the presence of multiresistance and drugs poor penetration through the blood brain barrier (BBB). Tigecycline is effective to cure A baumannii, but it can only be used intravenously which is also difficult to pass BBB. So, it will be a breakthrough if intraventricular (IVT) tigecycline is used in the clinica...
متن کاملOXA-72-producing Acinetobacter baumannii in Brazil: a case report.
by the integration of a partly truncated class 2 integron as well as the deletion of large parts of the mobA gene (including the mobB gene) and the tetracycline resistance gene tet(B). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of class 2-associated resistance gene cassettes in members of the genus Pasteurella. In contrast to P. multocida, which is found in the respiratory trac...
