Susceptibility Testing of Colistin for Acinetobacter baumannii: How Far Are We from the Truth? Open
Acinetobacter baumannii is involved in life-threatening nosocomial infections, mainly in the intensive care units (ICUs), and often colistin may represent the last therapeutic opportunity. The susceptibility to colistin of 51 epidemiologic…

Contribution of Active Iron Uptake to Acinetobacter baumannii Pathogenicity Open
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen. Mechanisms that allow A. baumannii to cause human infection are still poorly understood.

New Shuttle Vectors for Gene Cloning and Expression in Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter Species Open
Understanding bacterial pathogenesis requires adequate genetic tools to assess the role of individual virulence determinants by mutagenesis and complementation assays, as well as for homologous and heterologous expression of cloned genes. …

Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilm Formation in Human Serum and Disruption by Gallium Open
Biofilm-associated infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii are extremely recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment. We report that A. baumannii develops a mature biofilm when grown in complement-free human serum (HS). We demonstrate that 1…
