Nineteen bacteriophages against five main capsular types of multidrug-resistant
Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from tertiary care hospital sewage. Eight …

Aim: Bacteriophages are potential candidates for the treatment of multidrug-resistant
bacterial infections. We aimed to isolate and characterize phages effective against …

The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is of
growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant to last resort as well as …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen, usually associated with
immunocompromised individuals with a prolonged period of stay in a hospital. Currently, the …

Capsular polysaccharides are considered as major virulence factors associated with the
ability of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii to cause severe infections. In …

Background With the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunosuppressive drugs, and
glucocorticoids, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) has become a …

A. baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen and a major cause of various community-
acquired infections. Strains of this species can be resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents …

Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a challenging nosocomial pathogen due to its rapid
evolution of antibiotic resistance. We report characterization of two novel bacteriophages …

The spread of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in hospitals and nursing homes
poses serious healthcare challenges. Therefore, we aimed to isolate and characterize lytic …

Emergence of multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and a
withering drug discovery pipeline necessitates the search for effective alternatives to replace …
