A gut-lung connection influences susceptibility to infection by Acinetobacter baumannii, a leading cause of hospital-acquired ...
Hospital-acquired infections are often hard to treat because the corresponding pathogens become increasingly resistant against antibiotics. The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is particularly feared ...
Researchers revealed the atomic-level mechanism bacteria like A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa use to build antibiotic-resistant 3D biofilms, opening new paths to fight multidrug-resistant infections.
The pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii can survive on hospital surfaces -- without water -- for months, an ability that has helped it become a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. Now, a team ...
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are often particularly difficult to treat because the pathogens have developed resistance to common antibiotics. The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is ...
Chronic skin wounds are a growing global concern amongst aging populations and patients with severe burns and underlying health conditions such as diabetes. Commonly seen in healthcare environments ...
The pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii can survive on hospital surfaces - without water - for months, an ability that has helped it become a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. Now, a team of ...
Acinetobacter baumannii are bacteria that cause infections in the blood, lungs, kidneys, brain, and other organs. These bacteria are nonmotile (don't move on their own), strictly aerobic (need oxygen ...
Biofilm formation by microorganisms represents a formidable hurdle in medical treatment due to their complex, structured communities encased in a self-generated extracellular matrix. This matrix ...
Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including hospital bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa—to ...
