Superinfection of eczema with multiple Acinetobacter species.
Sir, The most common bacteria that colonizes and aggravates atopic dermatitis is Staphylococcus aureus, although other bacteria act similarly (1). Interestingly, Acinetobacter species are rarely cultured from atopic dermatitis, although one study found that 40% of health volunteers carried Acinetobacter species on their bodies, with A. lwoffii being the most common (2). We report a child with a...
متن کاملPlasmid DNA fingerprinting of Acinetobacter species other than Acinetobacter baumannii.
During the last years Acinetobacter species have emerged as clinically significant pathogens. Most infections are nosocomially acquired and mainly due to Acinetobacter baumannii. Little is known about the epidemiology and clinical significance of unnamed Acinetobacter species 3 (the second most often encountered member of the genus Acinetobacter) and other Acinetobacter species such as A. johns...
متن کاملReservoirs of Non-baumannii Acinetobacter Species
Acinetobacter spp. are ubiquitous gram negative and non-fermenting coccobacilli that have the ability to occupy several ecological niches including environment, animals and human. Among the different species, Acinetobacter baumannii has evolved as global pathogen causing wide range of infection. Since the implementation of molecular techniques, the habitat and the role of non-baumannii Acinetob...
متن کاملBacteremia due to Acinetobacter genomic species 10.
Six patients with Acinetobacter genomic species 10 bacteremia were identified. The clinical features of the patients, phenotypic and genotypic identifications, antimicrobial susceptibilities, and genes flanking ISAba1 of the bacteria were described. The results revealed that this bacterium is a potentially lethal pathogen that can cause health care-associated infections in debilitated patients.
متن کاملMultiple Genetic Mutations Associated with Polymyxin Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii.
We studied polymyxin B resistance in 10 pairs of clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, two of which had developed polymyxin B resistance in vivo. All polymyxin B-resistant isolates had lower growth rates than and substitution mutations in the lpx or pmrB gene compared to their parent isolates. There were significant differences in terms of antibiotic susceptibility and genetic determinants...
