The study population were patients colonized with A baumannii at a single medical center during a 17-month period of active surveillance. Endemic A baumannii (cases) had a repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) type that occurred 10 or more times during the surveillance period. Cases carrying 1 ...

Skin abscesses in pediatric patients due to Acinetobacter have been reported in only two case reports. One described an abscess in the antecubital fossa at the site of a previous intravenous cannula in a neonate born at 26 weeks who previously grew A. baumannii from endotracheal tube secretions...
baumannii. Through this approach, we discovered abaucin, an antibacterial compound with narrow-spectrum activity against A. baumannii. Further investigations revealed that abaucin perturbs lipoprotein trafficking through a mechanism involving LolE. Moreover, abaucin could control an A. baumannii ...
Acinetobacter baumannii is a critical opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The high rates of antibiotic-resistance acquisition make most antibiotics ineffective. Thus, new medical countermeasures are urgently needed. Outer membra
OBJECTIVE To investigate Acinetobacter baumannii infection in 23 cases of burning wounds so as to use antibiotics properly and take effective measures. METHODS Retrospective survey was carried out in the susceptive test and clinical data. RESULTS The drug resistance rate of A. baumannii to 15 kinds ...
Abstract OBJECTIVES: To describe and compare characteristics and outcomes of patients colonized or infected with Acinetobacter baumannii (cases) to a control group. METHODS: A retrospective case-controlled study of patients admitted to a South African paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between January...

Various microorganisms had been studied for their capabilities to degrade aromatic compounds (Amorim et al.2014; Maia et al.2018). In our study, two bacterial consortia were able to biodegrade both CIP and LEV; the first bacterial consortium was composed ofA. baumanniiandK. pneumoniae.Among the...
Interest in Acinetobacter baumannii continues to rise. One of the main reasons is the emergence of multi-resistant strains, which cause sudden outbreaks of infection involving several patients in a ward and/or in different areas of the hospital [1, 2]. In clinical practice, Acinetobacter infection...
