Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The high resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics makes its control and treatment difficult. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii isolated from patients with VAP. ...
Refractory carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates increase mortality and morbidity rates among patients with underlying disorders, especially in patients with burns. The aim of the current study was to understand the resistant determinants of CRAB isolates and their clonal relatedness ...
The strengthening of hospital hygiene measures and surveillance of antibiotic resistance is needed to limit the spread of germs and to optimize the management of antibiotics. 展开 关键词: Acinetobacter baumannii Bacteremi Antibiotic resistance blaOXA-51 blaOXA-23 ...
RESEARCH ARTICLE Open AccessPrevalence of carbapenem-resistantAcinetobacter baumannii from 2005 to2016 in SwitzerlandA. Ramette * , A. Kronenberg and the Swiss Centre for Antibiotic Resistance (ANRESIS)AbstractBackground: We describe the prevalence of invasive carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. isolated...
In total, 226 individuals from the community were investigated for faecal carriage of Acinetobacter spp. by broth enrichment culture, followed by growth on blood agar and/or Leeds Acinetobacter Medium (LAM). Acinetobacter baumannii was isolated on both LAM and blood agar from one of 100 specimens...
Prevalence of Multi-drug Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Producing OXA-23-like from a University Hospital in Gangwon Province, Korea Acinetobacter infections are of great concern in clinical settings because of multi-drug resistance (MDR) and high mortality of the infected patients. The ... In,Ho...
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii (ACB) complex has been identified as a group of emerging opportunistic pathogens that cause nosocomial infections. The current study investigates the prevalence, distribution, and diversity of pathogenic ACB complex in various aquatic systems with different uses. Of the...
We performed a single-day, point-prevalence study of a 180-bed, university-affiliated LTAC facility in Baltimore to assess the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Acinetobacter baumannii in the anterior nares, perirectal area, sputum, and wounds. Among the 147 ...
Acinetobacter baumannii can be isolated from various sites in the hospital environment like medical equipment, bed linen, medical personnel and indwelling catheters. It is difficult to treat A. baumannii infections because of their highly resistant antimicrobial profiles. The purpose of this study was ...
