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 …

Acinetobacter baumannii is widely recognized as an important pathogen associated with
nosocomial infections. The treatment of these infections is often difficult due to the …

Background Microbial taxonomy remains a conservative discipline, relying on phenotypic
information derived from growth in pure culture and techniques that are time-consuming and …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a globally important nosocomial pathogen characterized by an
increasing incidence of multidrug resistance. Routes of dissemination and gene flow among …

Since the initial discovery of universal stress protein A (UspA) 25 years ago, remarkable
advances in molecular and biochemical technologies have revolutionized our …

Acinetobacter baumannii infection poses a major health threat, with recurrent treatment
failure due to antibiotic resistance, notably to carbapenems. While genomic analyses of …

Many sequenced strains of Acinetobacter baumannii are established nosocomial pathogens
capable of resistance to multiple antimicrobials. Community-acquired A. baumannii in …

With a great diversity in gene composition, including multiple putative antibiotic resistance
genes, AbaR islands are potential contributors to multidrug resistance in Acinetobacter …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has become a
serious healthcare concern within a span of two decades due to its ability to rapidly acquire …

In this study, the genetic organization of three novel genomic antibiotic resistance islands
(AbaRs) in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates belonging to group of European clone II (EC II) …
