متن کاملColistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: beyond carbapenem resistance.
BACKGROUND With an increase in the use of colistin methansulfonate (CMS) to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections, colistin resistance is emerging. METHODS Patients with infection or colonization due to colistin-resistant A. baumannii were identified at a hospital system in Pennsylvania. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Susceptibility testi...
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 کاملAcinetobacter spp. as nosocomial pathogens: Epidemiology and resistance features
Acinetobacter; Nosocomial infections; Multi-drug resistance; Epidemiology; Characteristics Abstract The genus Acinetobacter is a major cause of nosocomial infections; it is increasingly being associated with various epidemics and has become a widespread concern in a variety of hospitals worldwide. Multi-antibiotic resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, is now recognized to be of great clinical sign...
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistance and pathogenicity of bovine Acinetobacter indicus-like isolates
The objective of this study was to characterize blaOXA-23 harbouring Acinetobacter indicus-like strains from cattle including genomic and phylogenetic analyses, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and evaluation of pathogenicity in vitro and in vivo. Nasal and rectal swabs (n = 45) from cattle in Germany were screened for carbapenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter spp. Thereby, two carbapenem re...
