Transposon-mediated multiple antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter strains.
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus, which is unusually resistant to multiple antibiotics, was the cause of an epidemic of respiratory tract infections in patients in an intensive care unit. A representative isolate of the epidemic strain was found to contain the aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes 3-N-acetyltransferase, 3'-phosphotransferase, and 3"-adenylyltransferase, which confer resi...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Patterns and Molecular Typing of Acinetobacter Baumannii Strains Isolated from Burn Patients in Iran
Background and Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen frequently causing various nosocomial infections and is a serious threat to burn patients. These infections are usually caused by the outbreak strains. The aim of this study was to show antibiotic resistance pattern and molecular typing of A. baumannii genes isolates collected ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of bum infections, and antibiotic- resistant strains of this bacterium are emerging due to extensive application of antibiotics in the bum unit of hospitals. In this study 50 strains of P. aeruginosa were isolated from bum patients infected with this micro-organism in the bum unit of a general hospital in Kerman, Iran over one year [May 1999-ApriI20...
متن کاملFrequency of MDR and XDR Strains and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates in Sari Hospitals, Iran
Background and purpose: The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii is increasing worldwide, causing significant clinical problems. This study aimed to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of clinical A. baumannii isolated from different different wards in Sari hospitals. Materials and methods: This study was performed on 100 clinical A. baumannii isolated from Sa...
متن کاملDefining resistance in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex strains.
We read with great interest the recent publication of Tien and colleagues in which they describe the antimicrobial susceptibilities of a large number of Acinetobacter baumannii-Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strains isolated from a medical center in Taiwan (1). They suggested that antimicrobial susceptibility was negatively associated with virulent potential because more-susceptible strains were r...
