Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
To the editor: We read with interest the paper of Hrabák et al. [1] on the isolation of a blaNDM-1-carrying Acinetobacter baumannii strain. However, although the authors believed to be the first in the Czech Republic to report on a New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing bacterium, there have been other reports on the same A. baumannii strain in the country [2,3]. Here, we would li...
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii contamination in an intensive care unit.
INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major pathogen causing infections in intensive care units (ICUs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the presence of A. baumannii in an ICU environment and gloves from ICU workers and to characterize the antimicrobial resistance of the isolates in comparison with those isolated from ICU patients at the same hospital. METHODS: ICU samples were collec...
متن کاملCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in healthcare settings
Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii poses a significant threat to patients and healthcare systems in all EU/EEA countries. A. baumannii is the cause of serious infections in healthcare settings, and carbapenem resistance limits treatment options and increases the risk for adverse outcomes for patients. The epidemiological situation in Europe has worsened in the past years, with a higher number of...
متن کاملEmergence of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in the Intensive Care Unit in Sohag University Hospital, Egypt
At present, one of the most serious issues in medicine is increasing resistance of bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. This fact is associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates, prolonged hospital stays and increased treatmentrelated costs (Senkyrikova et al., 2013). Such negative trends have been observed in Acinetobacter baumannii which is responsible for a variety of nosocom...
متن کاملColistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: beyond carbapenem resistance.
BACKGROUND With an increase in the use of colistin methansulfonate (CMS) to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections, colistin resistance is emerging. METHODS Patients with infection or colonization due to colistin-resistant A. baumannii were identified at a hospital system in Pennsylvania. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Susceptibility testi...
