The phages of Acinetobacter baumannii has drawn increasing attention because of the multi-drug resistance of A. baumanni. The aim of this study was to sequence Acinetobacter baumannii phage AB3 and conduct bioinformatic analysis to lay a foundation for genome remodeling and phage therapy. We isolated and sequenced A. baumannii phage AB3 and attempted to annotate and analyze its genome. The resu...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter baumannii can cause a wide range of infections, including bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, peritonitis, etc. This organism is becoming resistant to a large group of antibiotics, especially β-lactam antibiotics. The reason for multi-drug resistance may be the production of extended- spectrum β-lactamses (ESBLs), carbapenemases/metallo β-lactam...

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen which colonize inpatients and cause severe infections, septic shock death. With emergence of multi-drug resistant gramnegative species being effective in A. colistin becomes a treatment option again. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), mucolitic agent used commonly lower respiratory tract infections especially patients who have cronic disorders like Chro...

Background: Infection is one of complication vascular access that can lead a higher morbidity, loss access, and even mortality. Hospitalized hemodialysis patients with double lumen catheter (DLC) have two to three risk for infection death compared arteriovenous graft. The aim this study was determine the rate in dialysis its characteristic. Method: A retrospective conducted Sanglah General Hosp...

The nanostructured BiOI-Q-Ag composites were prepared by a quercetin-assisted hydrolysis route under varying concentrations of Ag. samples examined microscopic and spectroscopic investigations, which revealed that the Ag nanoparticles (NPs) efficiently loaded on 3D BiOI-Q nanoflowers, higher density was observed with increasing amount photocatalytic activities as-synthesized BiOI-Q, (1), (2), (...

Introduction / objectives Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is a health care-associated pathogen that can live for months in both a wet and dry environment. The high prevalence of this organism in the hospital environment results in colonization of the skin and respiratory tract in the patient population, which can lead to development of infection. Determine if development of an admi...

Carbapenem administration is an important therapy for nosocomial infections due to MDRO, especially Acinetobacter baumannii. The global increase in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) that causes this pathogen has significantly threatened public health the lack of adequate treatment options very few currently available antimicrobial agents actively fight CRAB. Antimicrobial resistance a ma...
