Abstract Objectives We investigated whether Acinetobacter baumannii isolates of veterinary
origin shared common molecular characteristics with those described in humans. Methods …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen, causing severe
infections difficult to treat. The A. baumannii infection rate has increased year by year in …

The emergence and global spread of drug resistant Acinetobacter (A.) baumannii is a cause
of great concern. The current knowledge on antibiotic resistance in A. baumannii from …

The proportion of multidrug resistant bacteria causing infections in animals has continuously
been increasing. While the relevance of ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase) …

An increase in prevalence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter spp. in hospitalized animals
was observed at the Justus-Liebig-University (Germany). Genotypic analysis of 56 isolates …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial
infections, however the origins of these bacteria remain unclear. Sixteen A. baumannii …

The natural habitats and potential reservoirs of the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter
baumannii are poorly defined. Here, we put forth and tested the hypothesis of avian …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen associated with high morbidity and
mortality in humans. Whereas infections with strains of Acinetobacter species have been …

Acinetobacter spp. are non-fermentative, strictly aerobic, Gram-negative microorganisms
