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

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 ...

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 opportunistic bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii rarely sickens healthy people but causes serious infections in hospitalized patients. A study in mice suggests that Acinetobacter can hide ...

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 ...

November 4, 2009 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (ACBA) is a persistent threat to hospitalized patients, whether the infection is acquired in the ...

In a recent study, St. Louis-based Washington University School of Medicine researchers found Acinetobacter baumannii, an antibiotic-resistant bacterium responsible for many hospital-associated ...

A research team led by Beate Averhoff and Volker Müller of Goethe University Frankfurt has discovered a fundamental mechanism that helps the dreaded hospital pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii to ...

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 ...

In an effort to illustrate that genomic surveillance can build the foundation for scaleable precision phage therapy, an international collaboration analyzed the genomes of over 15,000 cases of ...
