متن کاملAcinetobacter 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 کاملNeutrophils play an important role in host resistance to respiratory infection with Acinetobacter baumannii in mice.
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a major cause of both community-associated and nosocomial pneumonia, but little is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of host defense against respiratory infection with this bacterial pathogen. In this study, we examined the role of neutrophils in host resistance to pulmonary A. baumannii infection in a mouse model of intranasal (i.n.) infec...
متن کاملOutcomes of Acinetobacter baumannii infection in critically ill burned patients.
The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of drug resistance among isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from our Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU), the rate of clinical cure, and the mortality rate. We undertook a retrospective review of all cases of infection from the BICU between January 2004 and November 2005. The group consisted of 24 men (80%) and 6 women with a mean age of 4...
