متن کاملFrequency of bap and cpaA virulence genes in drug resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and their role in biofilm formation
Objective(s): Acinetobacter baumannii has a high propensity to form biofilm and frequently causes medical device-related infections with multiple-drug-resistance in hospitals. The aim of this work is to study antimicrobial resistance and the role of bap and cpaA genes in biofilm formation by A. baumannii to understand how this pathogen persists in the hospital environment. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملPrevalence Determination of Virulence Related and Biofilm Formation Genes in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates from Clinical Respiratory Samples in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran in 2018
Background and Objective: Acinetobacter baumannii is considered to be a re-emerging causative agent of nosocomial infections. There is a significant relation between pathogenicity of this bacterium and the numerous virulence factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate nine virulence factor genes in A. baumannii isolates derived from hospitalized patients. Materials and Methods: A tot...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Type II Toxin-Antitoxin Systems and their Association with Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Formation in Clinical Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates of Burn Patients
Background and purpose: Burn wounds are a good host for infections. Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacterium in patients with burn infections. Toxin-antitoxin systems (TAS) are genetic elements that are essential for antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation in bacteria, including higBA and relBE TA systems. The present study aimed to investigate the frequency of higBA and relBE...
متن کاملGenetic Regulation of Virulence and Antibiotic Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
Multidrug resistant microorganisms are forecast to become the single biggest challenge to medical care in the 21st century. Over the last decades, members of the genus Acinetobacter have emerged as bacterial opportunistic pathogens, in particular as challenging nosocomial pathogens because of the rapid evolution of antimicrobial resistances. Although we lack fundamental biological insight into ...
