The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is an extremely dangerous pathogen that is found, among other places, in hospitals. Many of the bacterial strains are resistant to different classes of ...

Healthy people can also carry the Acinetobacter bacteria on their skin, particularly if they work in a healthcare setting. It can survive for a long time on dry surfaces, making it difficult to ...

The Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex is a significant cause of nosocomial infections. While A. baumannii is the most common and clinically significant member globally, recent studies ...

Acinetobacter, like other gram-negative bacteria, has an outer membrane and a cytoplasmic membrane, between which (the periplasmic space) β-lactamases (carbapenemases, AmpC β-lactamases, and ...

Acinetobacter bacteria are not airborne, but can be spread through direct contact with surfaces, objects, or the skin of people that are contaminated with A. baumannii. Bloodstream infections often ...

A research team led by Beate Averhoff and Volker Müller of Goethe University Frankfurt has discovered a fundamental mechanism that helps the dreaded hospital pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii to ...

Researchers have engineered a library of strains that can be used to develop new antibacterial compounds to help address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria. University ...

Class A enzymes include β-lactamases that are active against penicillins and cephalosporins as well as extended-spectrum β-lactamases that are also active against penicillins and cephalosporins and in ...

本研究聚焦于儿童喘息与哮喘的早期防治难题。为解决病毒感染诱发2型免疫反应导致气道疾病的问题，研究人员探究了吸入农舍微生物Acinetobacter lwoffii（A.lwoffii）对新生小鼠反复RSV感染模型的影响 ...
