Acinetobacter baumannii is undoubtedly one of the most successful pathogens responsible
for hospital-acquired nosocomial infections in the modern healthcare system. Due to the …

The OXA β-lactamases were among the earliest β-lactamases detected; however, these
molecular class D β-lactamases were originally relatively rare and always plasmid …

Hosts and bacteria have coevolved over millions of years, during which pathogenic bacteria
have modified their virulence mechanisms to adapt to host defense systems. Although the …

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is undoubtedly one of the most successful
pathogens in the modern healthcare system. With invasive procedures, antibiotic use and …

The rapid expansion of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to
carbapenems and most or all available antibiotics during the last decade is a worrying …

Carbapenems, once considered the last line of defense against of serious infections with
Enterobacteriaceae, are threatened with extinction. The increasing isolation of carbapenem …

During the past few decades Acinetobacter baumannii has evolved from being a commensal
dweller of health-care facilities to constitute one of the most annoying pathogens …

The global emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) among Gram-negative bacteria has
dramatically limited the therapeutic options. During the last two decades, Acinetobacter …

Objectives This study investigated the prevalence of diverse Ambler class β-lactamase-
encoding genes in 40 carbapenem-insensitive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected …

Background Antibiotic use is largely under-regulated in Egypt leading to the emergence of
resistant isolates. Carbapenems are last resort agents to treat Acinetobacter baumannii …
