Virulence role of the outer membrane protein CarO in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
Novel approaches to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections are urgently needed and anti-virulence drugs represent promising alternatives, but our knowledge on potential targets is scarce. We ...

Pathogenic Acinetobacter species have a functional type I secretion system and contact-dependent inhibition systems
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., 2017-04-03)
Pathogenic Acinetobacter species, including Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis, are opportunistic human pathogens of increasing relevance worldwide. Although their mechanisms of drug resistance are ...

Clinical validation of a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for rapid detection of Acinetobacter baumannii colonization
(W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 2016)
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approaches have not been assessed in terms of their ability to detect patients colonized by Acinetobacter baumannii during active surveillance. This prospective, double-blind ...

Phenotypic changes associated with Colistin resistance due to Lipopolysaccharide loss in Acinetobacter baumannii
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Acinetobacter baumannii can acquire resistance to colistin via complete loss of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis due to mutations in the lpxA, lpxC and lpxD genes. However, although colistin is increasingly being used ...

Phenotypic and molecular characterizations of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected within the EURECA study
(Elsevier Science, 2021)
Multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are key pathogens that contribute to the global bur den of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to investigate the phenotypic and molecular character istics of ...

Immunization with Lipopolysaccharide-Deficient Whole Cells Provides Protective Immunity in an Experimental Mouse Model of Acinetobacter baumannii Infection
(2014)
The increasing clinical importance of infections caused by multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii warrants the development of novel approaches for prevention and treatment. In this context, vaccination of certain ...

European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) guidelines for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (endorsed by European society of intensive care medicine)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)
Scope: These ESCMID guidelines address the targeted antibiotic treatment of third-generation cepha losporin-resistant Enterobacterales (3GCephRE) and carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, focusing on the effectiveness ...

A multimodal intervention program to control a long-term Acinetobacter baumannii endemic in a tertiary care hospital
(BMC, 2019)
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii causes frequently nosocomial infections worldwide. Its ability to survive on dry surfaces facilitates its spread and the persistence of endemic situations, especially in the intensive ...

Synergistic Activity of Niclosamide in Combination With Colistin Against Colistin-Susceptible and Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-10-03)
Colistin is among the few antibiotics effective against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates. However, in the last few years, colistin-resistant A. baumannii and K. ...
