- Special Issue : Acinetobacter baumannii: An Emerging Pathogen - MDPI
Dear Colleagues, Acinetobacter baumannii is one the commonest bacteria occurring ubiquitously in nature This Gram-negative coccobacillus has a wide range of survival strategies in nature ranging from dry surfaces through moist surfaces to skin and mucous membranes to even intra-cellular strategies, which makes this bacterium unique in many ways During the late 1970s through to the 1990s
- Acinetobacter baumannii: evolution of a global pathogen
This review summarises the recent advances in the study of Acinetobacter baumannii pathogenesis, with a particular focus on evolutionary and genomic aspects, and proposes new avenues of research
- Acinetobacter baumannii: a known pathogen, a new problem - PMC
The World Health Organization (WHO) classified A baumannii as an important threat to human health, and the infections caused by it require the use of specific antibiotics 2 In this context, carbapenems would currently be the antibiotics of choice against infections caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter spp It is worth noting, however, that the severity of infections and the
- Epidemiological and Clinical Insights into Acinetobacter baumannii: A . . .
Introduction A baumannii, a resilient and opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium, has emerged as a significant healthcare-associated pathogen, posing formidable challenges in clinical settings worldwide 1, 2 Recognized as one of the most formidable multidrug-resistant bacteria, it contributes to approximately 7300 infection cases and 500 fatalities annually 3 Its impact on public health is
- Biology of Acinetobacter baumannii: Pathogenesis, Antibiotic Resistance . . .
Acinetobacter baumannii is undoubtedly one of the most successful pathogens responsible for hospital-acquired nosocomial infections in the modern healthcare system Due to the prevalence of infections and outbreaks caused by multi-drug resistant A baumannii, few antibiotics are effective for treating infections caused by this pathogen To overcome this problem, knowledge of the pathogenesis
