OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a modeled microgravity
environment on the antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii. DESIGN: Clinical …

The in-vitro activity of 18 antimicrobial agents alone or in combination against 248 clinical
isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from Taiwan were tested by agar dilution. The MIC90s …

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in RPMI 1640, a more physiologically relevant
culture medium, revealed that a substantial proportion of carbapenem-resistant …

Acinetobacter spp. are important nosocomial pathogens reported with increasing frequency
in outbreaks of cross-infection during the past 2 decades. The majority of such outbreaks are …

In view of the current lack of single antimicrobial agents available to treat infections due to
certain strains of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii, the efficacy of various …

Background: Highly resistant (HR) Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) are frequently hospital-
acquired and may be important causes of severe nosocomial infections. Objective …

The objective of this work was to investigate correlations between Acinetobacter baumannii
isolates from neurosurgical intensive care unit patients and its environment. This is a …

Minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent
that can inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation. MIC …

Acinetobacter baumannii has recently drawn great interest in the microbiology research
community due to the increase in clinical antibiotic resistance of this organism, and …

The role of the inanimate environment as a reservoir or source of transmission of
nosocomial pathogens is well recognized [1e3]. Although the survival of Acinetobacter …
