A gut-lung connection influences susceptibility to infection by Acinetobacter baumannii, a leading cause of hospital-acquired ...

New research has shown that a lack of dietary zinc can boost the chances of a lung infection caused by Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria; these pathogens are a major reason why people on ventilators ...

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 ...

BV100 is a potential best-in-class anti-infective agent in treating hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) caused by carbapenem-resistant ...

The bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a haunting presence in many hospitals in the United States, where more than one in 100 patients are treated for A. baumannii infections. This ...

A new study from Emory University addresses the growing global crisis of antibiotic-resistant infections. Many of these drug-resistant bacteria are spread through hospitals, and there are few ...

Researchers discovered an unexpected link between zinc deficiency, the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-13 (IL-13), and Acinetobacter baumannii lung infection and demonstrated that blocking IL-13 ...

ESCMID is the premier annual congress of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. It takes place from April 17 - 21, 2026 in Munich, Germany.

As far as research subjects go, it's not always easy to find common ground with a single-celled bacterium. Yet the more Paul Wiggins studies his model bacteria, Acinetobacter baylyi, the more he sees ...

Acinetobacter baumannii represents a formidable nosocomial pathogen, largely due to its rapid acquisition of multidrug resistance and its capacity to cause severe infections. This Gram‐negative ...

A new study from Emory University addresses the growing global crisis of antibiotic-resistant infections. Many of these drug-resistant bacteria are spread through hospitals, and there are few ...
