Acinetobacter baumannii is a typically short, almost round, rod-shaped (coccobacillus) Gram-negative bacterium. It is named after the bacteriologist Paul Baumann. [ 2 ] It can be an opportunistic pathogen in humans, affecting people with compromised immune systems, and is becoming increasingly important as a hospital-derived ( nosocomial ...
Indicated for complicated skin/skin structure infections, soft tissue infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections. Effective for gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobic, and against multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA] and Acinetobacter baumannii), but not effective for Pseudomonas spp. and Proteus ...
[9] [7] Most studies have yielded positive outcomes, often achieving disinfection levels, as defined by infection control guidelines, exceeding 5 log 10 (99.999%) of microbial inactivation. [14] Over the past decade, a collection of novel photoantimicrobials has been developed, exhibiting improved efficiencies in antimicrobial photodynamic ...
Of the Acinetobacter, A. baumannii is the greatest cause of human disease, having been implicated in a number of hospital-acquired infections such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections (UTIs), secondary meningitis, infective endocarditis, and wound and burn infections. [12]
As of 2018, IDSA had more than 11,000 members from across the United States and nearly 100 other countries on six different continents. [2] IDSA's purpose is to improve the health of individuals, communities, and society by promoting excellence in patient care, education, research, public health, and prevention relating to infectious diseases.
Abaucin (RS-102895, MLJS-21001) is a compound which has been reported to show useful activity as a narrow-spectrum antibiotic. [1] There is evidence that it is effective against Acinetobacter baumannii, which is one of the three superbugs identified by the World Health Organization as a "critical threat" to humanity.
Acinetobacter dijkshoorniae. Cosgaya et al. 2016 [1] Type strain; NB14, JVAP01, LUH 08258, LUH 09464 [2] Acinetobacter dijkshoorniae is a bacterium from the genus of ...
Acinetobacter nosocomialis is a gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from a patient at MetroHealth in Cleveland, Ohio. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Acinetobacter nosocomialis belongs to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex.
