Biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii.
Acinetobacter baumannii has received much attention in recent years because of its increasing involvement in a number of severe infections and outbreaks occurring in clinical settings, and presumably related to its ability to survive and persist in hospital environments. The treatment of infections caused by A. baumannii nosocomial strains has become increasingly problematic, due to their intri...
متن کاملRelationship between Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Biofilm-Specific Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
In this study, we aimed to examine the relationships between antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. The tested 272 isolates were collected from several hospitals in China during 2010-2013. Biofilm-forming capacities were evaluated using the crystal violet staining method. Antibiotic resistance/susceptibility pro...
متن کاملIron and Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilm Formation
Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging nosocomial pathogen, responsible for infection outbreaks worldwide. The pathogenicity of this bacterium is mainly due to its multidrug-resistance and ability to form biofilm on abiotic surfaces, which facilitate long-term persistence in the hospital setting. Given the crucial role of iron in A. baumannii nutrition and pathogenicity, iron metabolism has bee...
متن کاملBiofilm Formation and β-lactamase Enzymes: A Synergism Activity in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Wound Infection
Background and Objective: Biofilm formation plays a crucial role in wound infections and increases the bacteria resistance to treatment. The present study investigated the relationship between the biofilm formation, ESBL, AmpC, and KPC enzymes in Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from the wound specimens. Materials and Methods: Eighty- nine A. baumannii isolates were collected from wound specim...
متن کاملColistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains deficient in biofilm
32 In two pairs of clinical colistin-susceptible/colistin-resistant (ColS/ColR) Acinetobacter 33 baumannii, ColR strains showed significantly decreased biofilm formation in static and dynamic 34 assays (P<0.001) and lower relative fitness (P<0.05) compared with ColS. Whole genome 35 sequencing comparison of strain pairs identified in one ColR strain a *241K change in LpsB 36 (involved in LPS sy...
