Hospital-acquired infections are a rising problem with consequences for patients, hospitals,
and health care workers. Biocides can be employed to prevent these infections, contributing …

Acinetobacter baumannii has become a major concern for scientific attention due to
extensive antimicrobial resistance. This resistance causes an increase in mortality rate …

The widespread use of biocides, and their resulting dissemination in the environment, can
contribute to adaptations in bacteria leading to the development of low-level susceptibility to …

Bacteria resistant to both the agents deployed to prevent infections and those used to treat
infections would be formidable nosocomial pathogens. The aim of this paper is to review the …

Bacterial biofilms are a serious public-health problem worldwide. In recent years, the rates of
antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria associated with biofilm-forming activity have …

Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) is one of the most notorious and opportunistic pathogens,
which caused high morbidity and mortality rate and World Health Organization (WHO) …

Aims: To produce strains of antimicrobial‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa via adaptation
to benzalkonium chloride, amikacin and tobramycin and to then examine the incidence, or …

To give an update on the molecular epidemiology and global distribution of carbapenemase
encoding genes, we subjected 313 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated …

Objectives The objective of this study was to analyse whether there is an association
between reduced susceptibility to biocides in Acinetobacter baumannii and (i) antimicrobial …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a major nosocomial pathogen causing human infections with
significant mortality rates. In most cases, infections are acquired through exposure to A …
