Clinico-epidemiological nature and antibiotic susceptibility profile of Acinetobacter species
OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter spp. has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections in many health-care settings worldwide. The study describes the clinico-epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of Acinetobacter spp. in a tertiary health-care institution. Methodology : Acinetobacter spp. were isolated from 141 specimens of the patients who reported to U...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Patterns and Prevalence of PER and VEB Resistance Genes among Clinical Isolates of ESBL-Producing Acinetobacter Baumannii
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Acinetobacter species are responsible for a wide range of clinical complications in hospitalized patients. Antimicrobial treatment of clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii may be compromised due to multiple-drug resistance to b-lactams. Aim of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance patterns an...
متن کاملCharacterization, Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii Infecting Foodstuff
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a highly virulent bacterium. It causes opportunistic and nosocomial infections and is a threat to healthcare settings. It has also developed multidrug resistance (MDR) capacity. The nosocomial bacteria and antibiotic resistance are primordial and a significant public health concern. These bacteria and their threat can be prevented by reducing infected food...
متن کاملRegulation of chromosomally mediated multiple antibiotic resistance: the mar regulon.
Multidrug resistance in bacteria is generally attributed to the acquisition of multiple transposons and plasmids bearing genetic determinants for different mechanisms of resistance (48, 62). However, descriptions of intrinsic mechanisms that confer multidrug resistance have begun to emerge. The first of these was a chromosomally encoded multiple antibiotic resistance (mar) locus (Fig. 1) in Esc...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance, Biofilms and Quorum Sensing in Acinetobacter Species
Acinetobacter is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that is strictly aerobic, nonmotile, catalase positive and oxidase negative. It is ubiquitous in nature, being found in soil and water. Members of the genus Acinetobacter have now clearly emerged as opportunistic nosocomial pathogens (Forster et al., 1998). Bacteremia, pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract and surgical wound infections are the most ...
