Revised manuscript AAC 01388 - 10 1 Efflux - Mediated Antibiotic Resistance in Acinetobacter spp . 2 3 4
24 Among Acinetobacter spp., A. baumannii is the most frequently implicated in nosocomial 25 infections, in particular in intensive care units. It was initially thought that multidrug 26 resistance (MDR) in this species was mainly due to horizontal acquisition of resistance genes. 27 However, it has become recently obvious that increased expression of chromosomal genes for 28 efflux systems pla...
متن کاملTransposon-mediated multiple antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter strains.
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus, which is unusually resistant to multiple antibiotics, was the cause of an epidemic of respiratory tract infections in patients in an intensive care unit. A representative isolate of the epidemic strain was found to contain the aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes 3-N-acetyltransferase, 3'-phosphotransferase, and 3"-adenylyltransferase, which confer resi...
متن کاملEfflux-mediated antimicrobial resistance.
Antibiotic resistance continues to plague antimicrobial chemotherapy of infectious disease. And while true biocide resistance is as yet unrealized, in vitro and in vivo episodes of reduced biocide susceptibility are common and the history of antibiotic resistance should not be ignored in the development and use of biocidal agents. Efflux mechanisms of resistance, both drug specific and multidru...
متن کاملCharacterization, Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii Infecting Foodstuff
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a highly virulent bacterium. It causes opportunistic and nosocomial infections and is a threat to healthcare settings. It has also developed multidrug resistance (MDR) capacity. The nosocomial bacteria and antibiotic resistance are primordial and a significant public health concern. These bacteria and their threat can be prevented by reducing infected food...
متن کاملWastewater treatment contributes to selective increase of antibiotic resistance among Acinetobacter spp.
The occurrence and spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria is a pressing public health problem. The emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is common in areas where antibiotics are heavily used, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria also increasingly occur in aquatic environments. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the wastewater treatment process on the prevale...
