| abar-type genomic islands in non-baumannii acinetobacter species isolates from south korea. | to investigate the presence and structure of abar-type genomic islands (gis) in non-acinetobacter baumannii isolates, a total of 155 non-baumannii acinetobacter isolates from a south korean hospital were analyzed. gis were found in three acinetobacter nosocomialis and two acinetobacter seifertii isolates. their structures were similar to those in a. baumannii isolates from asian countries, including south korea. the existence of abar-type gis in non-baumannii acinetobacter isolates is believed t ... | 2015 | 26100696 |
| acinetobacter seifertii sp. nov., a member of the acinetobacter calcoaceticus-acinetobacter baumannii complex isolated from human clinical specimens. | this study aimed to define the taxonomic status of a phenetically distinct group of 16 strains that corresponds to acinetobacter genomic species 'close to 13tu', a provisional genomic species of the acinetobacter calcoaceticus-acinetobacter baumannii (acb) complex recognized by gerner-smidt and tjernberg in 1993. these strains have been isolated in different countries since the early 1990s and were mostly recovered from human clinical specimens. they were compared with 45 reference strains repre ... | 2015 | 25563912 |
| lettuce and fruits as a source of multidrug resistant acinetobacter spp. | the role of ready-to-eat products as a reservoir of pathogenic species of acinetobacter remains unclear. the objective of the present study was to evaluate the presence of acinetobacter species in lettuces and fruits marketed in portugal, and their susceptibility to antimicrobials. acinetobacter spp. were isolated from 77.9% of the samples and these microorganisms were also found as endophytes (i.e. present within the plant tissue) in 12 of 20 samples of lettuces analysed. among 253 isolates tha ... | 2017 | 28213015 |
| a distinct alleles and genetic recombination of pmrcab operon in species of acinetobacter baumannii complex isolates. | to investigate pmrcab sequence divergence in 5 species of acinetobacter baumannii complex, a total of 80 isolates from a korean hospital were explored. we evaluated nucleotide and amino acid polymorphisms of pmrcab operon, and phylogenetic trees were constructed for each gene of prmcab operon. colistin and polymyxin b susceptibility was determined for all isolates, and multilocus sequence typing was also performed for a. baumannii isolates. our results showed that each species of a. baumannii co ... | 2015 | 25934155 |
| comparison of the virulence-associated phenotypes of five species of acinetobacter baumannii complex. | in this study, we compared the virulence-associated factors of acinetobacter baumannii complex species. sixty-three isolates of five a. baumannii complex species, including 19 a. baumannii, 15 a. nosocomialis, 13 a. seifertii, 13 a. pittii, and 3 a. calcoaceticus isolates, were included in this study. for all isolates, biofilm formation, a549 cell adherence, resistance to normal human serum, and motility were evaluated. a. baumannii complex isolates showed diversity in biofilm formation, a549 ce ... | 2016 | 26428730 |
| the first cases of human bacteremia caused by acinetobacter seifertii in japan. | acinetobacter seifertii, a novel species of acinetobacter, was first reported in 2015. a. seifertii strains were isolated from human clinical specimens (blood, respiratory tract, and ulcer) and hospital environments. here, we report the first cases of bacteremia caused by a. seifertii in patients with catheter-related bloodstream infection in japan. the patients favorably recovered, without any complications, after removal of the peripheral intravenous catheters and administration of antibiotics ... | 2016 | 26778251 |
| acinetobacter seifertii isolated from china: genomic sequence and molecular epidemiology analyses. | clinical infections caused by acinetobacter spp. have increasing public health concerns because of their global occurrence and ability to acquire multidrug resistance. acinetobacter calcoaceticus-acinetobacter baumannii (acb) complex encompasses a. calcoaceticus, a. baumannii, a. pittii (formerly genomic species 3), and a nosocomial (formerly genomic species 13tu), which are predominantly responsible for clinical pathogenesis in the acinetobacter genus. in our previous study, a putative novel sp ... | 2016 | 26945401 |
| prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of acinetobacter spp. isolated from meat. | the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of acinetobacter spp. from fifty samples of meat (chicken, turkey, beef and pork) were evaluated. acinetobacter spp. was recovered from all samples and the clonal relatedness of 223 isolates identified to belong to the genus acinetobacter was established by pfge. a high genetic diversity was observed and 166 isolates from different samples, 141 representing different pfge profiles, were further identified to the species level by rpob gene sequencing. thir ... | 2017 | 27992816 |
