Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. Its natural strength and ability to develop new antibiotic resistance make it the most important emerging bacterial pathogen. The aim of this study is to determine, through a 6 year descriptive study (...

Molecular epidemiology of sequential outbreaks of Acinetobacter baumannii in an intensive care unit shows the emergence of carbapenem resistance. The molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii was investigated in the medical-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) of a universit... R ...

The emergence of Acinetobacter baumannii as an epidemiologically significant nosocomial agent based on its epidemiology, antibiogram patterns and clinical correlation was explored in a 25 month study at a tertiary care hospital in India. Methods The Acinetobacter baumannii isolates over a twenty-five mon...
A baumannii is a water organism and preferentially colonizes aquatic environments. It is also a natural inhabitant of soil. This organism is often cultured from hospitalized patients' sputum or respiratory secretions, wounds, and urine. In a hospital setting, Acinetobacter commonly colonizes irrigating...
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized to be among the most difficult antimicrobial-resistant gramnegative bacilli to control and treat. Increasing antimicrobial resistance among Acinetobacter isolates has been documented, although definitions of multidrug resistance vary in the literature. A....
In view of the high rate and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii causing nosocomial infections especially in ICUs, this study was conducted to elucidate the antimicrobial susceptibility and the molecular epidemiology of the A. baumannii isolated from nosocomial infections in...
