sensitivity to ciprofloxacine(91%) and cotrimoxazole (57.5%) and maximum resistance to ceftriaxone respectively.Discussion and Conclusion: Because the most acinetobacter isolation was from emergency ward of hospital, it seems that a part of such infections is more due to contamination than real ...
Some strains can survive in iron-deficient and dry environments for months, leading to the increased risk of fomite contamination.1 It is estimated to be the cause of 2% to 10% of all gram-negative infections in intensive care units in both the United States and Europe.2Acinetobacter has ...
Fresh meat and poultry are prone to microbial contamination and support microbial survival or growth due to their enriched nutrient composition, high pH (5.5 to 6.5) and water activity (0.98 to 0.99) (Lawrie, 1991). Microbial contamination of raw meat results from processing, and starts during ...

human infection[19]. Recently,A. baumanniiinfections have been identified in patients withtraumatic injuries, suggesting environmentalwoundcontamination[2]. It is of interest that for almost 3 years (1 January 2002 to 31 August 2004)A. baumanniiwas isolated from blood cultures obtained from 102 ...
Carbapenem resistance among bacteria, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, constitutes a dreadful threat to public health all over the world that requires developing new medications urgently. Carbapenem resistance emerges as a se
Bacteriophages or phages are bacterial viruses that enter and infect bacterial cells. The replication of the phage in host cells causes bacterial lysis and death, making them an alternative antibacterial treatment [6,7]. Moreover, phages might help to control the contaminations on the body surfaces...
Based on the spatial distribution of Cr(VI) values, two groups of groundwater samples were distinguished, possibly reflecting different natural and/or anthropogenic factors that govern the levels of contamination. The first group is spatially located northwards of Thiva town and is consisted of ...
Even if the possibility of Acinetobacter contamination can be ruled out, nevertheless the presence of Acinetobacter phage-specific circular DNAs in brain samples of infected animals is too convincing to be ignored. Though no direct involvement of Sphinx has been demonstrated in the generation of ...
