Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in the intensive care unit
provided the original work is properly cited. CC We read the report entitled “Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in intensive care unit patients in a hospital with building construction: is there an association?” [1] with great interest. In this report, Kamalbeik et al. [1] concluded that “further research is necessary to establish a relationship between A. baumannii and soil...
متن کاملGenetic relatedness of clinical and environmental Acinetobacter baumanii isolates from an intensive care unit outbreak.
INTRODUCTION Determination of microbial genetic relatedness is important for improving efficiency of infection control measures during hospital outbreaks. This study aimed to analyze the clonal relationships of clinical and environmental Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated during an outbreak in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a secondary care hospital in Saudi Arabia. METHODOLOGY Twelve...
متن کاملOutbreak of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in an intensive care unit.
Acinetobacter baumannii is a ubiquitous microrganism often able to colonize and survive in different environments. Currently it is one of the most common pathogens responsible for nosocomial infections, including outbreaks, especially in long-term care facilities. The aim of this study was to show the results of an environmental investigation and genotyping analysis of multidrug-resistant Acine...
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii contamination in an intensive care unit.
INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major pathogen causing infections in intensive care units (ICUs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the presence of A. baumannii in an ICU environment and gloves from ICU workers and to characterize the antimicrobial resistance of the isolates in comparison with those isolated from ICU patients at the same hospital. METHODS: ICU samples were collec...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from intensive-care-unit patient samples.
We examined epidemiological aspects and bacterial resistance patterns of bacteria isolated from intensive care unit (ICU) patient samples. During a 10 month period (from June 2006 to March 2007), 812 samples of blood, urine and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from 553 hospitalized patients, in ICU wards, including pediatric surgical, neonatal, adult surgical I, adult surgical II, general pediatrics...
