Overview
Molecular characterisation of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from bloodstream infections in a tertiary-level hospital in South Africa.
The study identified colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates with resistance genes including bla OXA-23, bla NDM-1, lps B, and various efflux pumps. These isolates exhibited extensive drug resistance (XDR) and were associated with sequence types ST1 and ST2.
Resistance mechanisms of tigecycline in Acinetobacter baumannii.
The study identifies several efflux pumps, outer membrane permeability alterations, and antibiotic target modifications as key mechanisms of tigecycline resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii.
