Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen that has emerged as a global threat
because of high levels of resistance to many antibiotics, particularly those considered to be …

Antibiotic resistance has increased markedly in gram-negative bacteria over the last two
decades, and in many cases has been associated with increased mortality and healthcare …

Abstract The Working Party makes more than 100 tabulated recommendations in
antimicrobial prescribing for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) …

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 …

Multilocus sequence typing reveals that many bacterial species have a clonal structure and
that some clones are widespread. This underlying phylogeny was not revealed by pulsed …

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a highly troublesome pathogen for many
institutions globally. As a consequence of its immense ability to acquire or upregulate …

Carbapenemases are β-lactamases with versatile hydrolytic capacities. They have the ability
to hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems. Bacteria …

Emergence and spread of Acinetobacter species, resistant to most of the available
antimicrobial agents, is an area of great concern. It is now being frequently associated with …

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized to be among the most difficult
antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacilli to control and treat. Increasing antimicrobial …

Objectives We have investigated the molecular epidemiology and distribution of
carbapenemase genes in 492 imipenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii …
