| acinetobacter indicus sp. nov., isolated from hexachlorocyclohexane (hch) dumpsite. | taxonomic position of a gram-negative, non-motile, oxidase negative and catalase positive strain a648t, isolated from hexachlorocyclohexane (hch) dumpsite located in lucknow, india was ascertained using a polyphasic approach. a comparative analysis of partial sequence of the rpob gene and 16s rrna gene sequence revealed that strain a648t belongs to the genus acinetobacter. dna-dna relatedness values between strain a648t and other closely related members namely acinetobacter radioresistens dsm 69 ... | 2012 | 22247213 |
| carbapenem resistance in a human clinical isolate identified to be closely related to acinetobacter indicus. | here we report a case of carbapenem resistance in a human clinical isolate that was found to be closely related to the newly described environmental species acinetobacter indicus. this strain harboured the blaoxa-23 carbapenemase gene located on a conjugative plasmid. partial sequencing of 16s rdna and rpob genes, together with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (maldi-tof) analysis, showed that this strain was distantly related to the acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticu ... | 2014 | 25245212 |
| carbapenem-resistance and pathogenicity of bovine acinetobacter indicus-like isolates. | the objective of this study was to characterize blaoxa-23 harbouring acinetobacter indicus-like strains from cattle including genomic and phylogenetic analyses, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and evaluation of pathogenicity in vitro and in vivo. nasal and rectal swabs (n = 45) from cattle in germany were screened for carbapenem-non-susceptible acinetobacter spp. thereby, two carbapenem resistant acinetobacter spp. from the nasal cavities of two calves could be isolated. maldi-tof mass spec ... | 2017 | 28207789 |
