Outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii producing the OXA-23 enzyme in Curitiba, Brazil.
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were obtained from eight patients in two hospitals in Curitiba, Brazil. The isolates were multiresistant, belonged to a single strain, and produced the OXA-23 carbapenemase. Treatment options were limited, although the isolates were susceptible to polymyxin B in vitro. The strain contributed to the deaths of five patients.

OBJECTIVE Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) is an emerging cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Combination therapy may be the only viable option until new antibiotics become available. The objective of this study is to identify potential antimicrobial combinations against CR-AB isolated from our local hospitals. METHODS AB isolates from all public hospitals in Singapo...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from the dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in patients with burn injury?
In this issue of the Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, Shoja et al characterize the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, resistance mechanisms, and typing of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates obtained from burn patients from a single center in Iran. They found that the rate of CRAB was high (92.5%) among burn patients. The most effective drugs with in vitro...

This study investigated the in vitro activity of colistin or sulbactam in combination with fosfomycin or imipenem against eight strains of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB). The eight CRAB clinical isolates were collected from hospitalized patients admitted to Songklanagarind Hospital in southern Thailand during January-December 2008. The isolates were divided into 4 different patterns o...
