The study investigated the species distribution, antibiotic susceptibility patterns and genotypic resistance characteristics of 113 consecutive blood culture isolates Acinetobacter collected between 2005 2007 throughout Norway. Species identification was performed by partial rpoB sequence analysis, verified 16S rDNA recA analyses. Susceptibility testing agar disc diffusion Etest. Distribution OXA carbapenemase genes epidemic clonality baumannii were detected PCR assays. Analyses...
Acinetobacter baumannii is a globally distributed nosocomial pathogen that has gained interest due to its resistance most currently used antimicrobials. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and phylogenetics begun reveal the global genetic diversity of this pathogen. The evolution A. largely been defined by recombination, punctuated emergence proliferation clonal lineages. In study we sequenced seven genomes from sequence type (ST)25 lineage compared them 12 ST25 deposited in public databases. A...
Medical diagnosis in low-resource settings is confronted by the lack of suitable guidelines, protocols and checklists. Online-accessible procedural documents are difficult to find, might be mistranslated or interpreted usually do not address needs developing countries. Urinalysis, one most frequently performed diagnostic examinations worldwide, involves a series tests aiming detect particular disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease diabetes. In this guideline, we present...
Investigate the weaponization of water during Syrian conflict and correlation attacks on water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in Idlib Aleppo governorates with trends waterborne diseases reported by Early Warning Response surveillance systems.We reviewed literature databases to obtain information WASH between 2011 2019. We plotted weekly from two systems operational 2015 early 2020.The review noted several related both governorates, suggesting that was weaponized state non-state...
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen equipped with a growing number of antibiotic resistance genes. Our study investigated the molecular epidemiology and features 28 consecutive carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates A. collected throughout Sweden in 2012 2013. The mainly belonged to clonal complexes (CCs) extensive international distribution, such CC2 (n = 16) CC25 7). Resistance carbapenems was related blaOXA-23 (20 isolates), blaOXA-24/40-like (6...
This study was designed to investigate the molecular epidemiology and antibiotic-resistance characteristics of 11 carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates Acinetobacter baumannii obtained in Norway between 2004 2009. Interestingly, all were linked with recent hospitalization outside Norway. The epidemiological status investigated by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), multiplex PCR assays for major international clones, blaOXA-51-like variants PFGE. genotypic-resistance characteristics,...
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are polymorphic elements found in the genome of some or all strains particular bacterial species, providing them with a system acquired immunity against invading bacteriophages and plasmids. Two CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic pathogen remarkable capacity for clonal dissemination. In this study, we investigated mode evolution diversity spacers CRISPR-cas subtype I-Fb locus...
Reversible switching between opaque and translucent colony formation is a novel feature of Acinetobacter baumannii that has been associated with variations in the cell morphology, surface motility, biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance virulence. Here, we assessed number phenotypic alterations related to A. clinical isolates belonging different multi-locus sequence types. Our findings demonstrated these were mostly strain-specific. In general, subpopulations produced more dense biofilms,...
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen with notorious reputation of being resistant to antimicrobial agents. The capability A. persist and disseminate between healthcare settings has raised major concern worldwide.Our study investigated the antibiotic resistance features molecular epidemiology 52 clinical isolates collected in Pakistan 2013 2015. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were determined by agar disc diffusion method. Comparative sequence analyses ampC...
In Syria, disruption to water and sanitation systems, together with poor access vaccination, forced displacement overcrowding contribute increases in waterborne diseases (WBDs). The aim of this study is perform a spatiotemporal analysis investigate potential associations between interruptions water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) WBDs northeast Syria using data collected by the Early Warning Alert Response Network (EWARN) from Deir-ez-Zor, Raqqa, Hassakeh parts Aleppo governorates.We reviewed...
This study was aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiology, mechanism of carbapenem resistance, and occurrence class 1 integrons among 13 carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates Acinetobacter baumannii obtained between 2004 2007 from Sweden. Nine were linked with hospitalization abroad. Molecular epidemiology investigated by multilocus sequence typing, multiplex PCRs for major international clones/sequence groups (SGs), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. OXA-carbapenemase genes/genetic...
Acinetobacter baumannii is a troublesome opportunistic pathogen with high capacity for clonal dissemination. We announce the establishment of database ampC locus in A. baumannii, which novel alleles are differentiated based on occurrence ≥ 1 nucleotide change, regardless whether it silent or missense. The openly accessible at pubmlst platform (http://pubmlst.org/abaumannii/). Forty-eight distinctive have so far been identified and deposited database. Isolates from complex (CC1), according to...
ABSTRACT An outbreak of hospital-acquired Acinetobacter baumannii infections, caused by a bla OXA-23 -positive carbapenem-resistant strain belonging to international clone II/ST2, was detected in Latvia. The partially equipped with the armA gene and intI1-aacA4-catB8-aadA1-qacE Δ 1 class integron. In addition, carried AbaR25, novel AbaR4-like resistance island ∼46,500 bp containing structures similar previously described AbaR22 Tn 6167 islands. AbaR25 characterized occurrence second copy...
