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 ...

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 ...

High incidence of pandrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected from patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia in Greece, Italy and Spain as part of the MagicBullet clinical trial
(Oxford Academic, 2017-12)
Objectives: To investigate the molecular epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility and carbapenem resistance determinants of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from respiratory tract samples of patients diagnosed with ...

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. ...

Positive Predictive Value of Leeds Acinetobacter Medium for Environmental Surveillance of Acinetobacter baumannii
(American Society of Microbiology, 2011)
Infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii often occur in outbreaks during which the bacteria are spread through contact with clinical personnel harboring the bacteria and from colonized hospital equipment (2). Environmental ...

Epidemiologic and Clinical Impact of Acinetobacter baumannii Colonization and Infection: A Reappraisal
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)
Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important antibiotic-resistant nosocomial bacteria. We investigated changes in the clinical and molecular epidemiology of A. baumannii over a 10-year period. We compared the data ...
