چکیده

introduction: acinetobacter baumannii is associated with hospital-acquired infections. outer membrane protein a of a.baumannii (abompa) is a well-characterized virulence factor which has important roles in pathogenesis of this bacterium. methods: based on our pcr-sequencing of ompa gene in the clinical isolates, abompa protein can be categorized into two types, named here type-1 and type-2. we preformed in silico analyses on beta-barrel domain of abompa such as sequence alignments, prediction of 3d modeling and immunoinformatics. results: high prevalence of abompa type-1 were detected both in 21 multidrug-resistant (mdr) a. baumannii isolates collected from clinical settings (64% of total sequences) and in silico sequences extracted from uniprot database (49.7% of total sequences). multiple sequence alignments and phylogenic tree revealed abompa sequences in comparison with ompa of enterobacteriaceae family were more heterogenic, especially at extracellular loops amino acid positions and were evolutionary far from this family. characterization of in silico 3d molecular model of beta-barrel domain of abompa type-1 showed this domain had four large extracellular loops which resemble to beta-barrel domain of klebsiella pneumonia ompa (kpompa). immunoinformatics analyses showed the four extracellular loops had high scores as b and t cell antigenic epitopes especially in loop-1 and 3. geometry analysis revealed extracellular loops effectively protrude to outer space of the cell. conclusion: beta-barrel domain of abompa type-1 has all the characteristics of a promising vaccine and could be considered as an excellent target for a vaccine against mdr a. baumannii infection.

Genome sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii MDR-TJ.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogenic species of bacteria, identified as an aerobic gram-negative bacterium, that is resistant to most antibiotics. In this study, the MDR-TJ strain was isolated at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, China, and was found to be resistant to penicillin, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, quinolones, and also imipenem. The genome sequence of Acinetob...

Propolis as an Antibacterial Agent against Clinical Isolates of Mdr-acinetobacter Baumannii.

BACKGROUND Multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important health care problem. The organism is now identified as an important nosocomial pathogen particularly in the intensive care settings. The therapeutic options to treat this pathogen are limited; thus it needs testing for alternatives, like those of plant origin or natural products. Propolis is one of such pro...

Apoptosis as a Potential Target in Therapeutic and Vaccine Interventions against Parasitic Diseases

Apoptosis is a physiological cell death that occurs under normal conditions in major biological processes, including the removal of old, damaged, extra, or harmful cells. It plays an important role in natural evolution, tissue homeostasis, removal of cells damaged or infected by viruses, and removal of immune cells activated against self-antigens. The purpose of this review was to examine the r...

ISOLATION OF LYTIC BACTERIOPHAGE AB72P AGAINST MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII ISOLATES OBTAINED FROM BURN INFECTION

Background & Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative pathogen that causes a wide range of hospital-acquired infections. Due to its intrinsic traits and its remarkable abilities to quickly acquire resistance genes, it has become resistant to most antimicrobial agents and a major problem for hospitals. In recent years, application of lytic bacteriophages has been considered to eradicate ...
