Structure of the O-polysaccharide of Acinetobacter sp. VS-15 and Acinetobacter lwoffii EK67.

An O-polysaccharide was released by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Acinetobacter sp. VS-15 and studied by chemical methods along with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D...

OXA-134, a Naturally-Occurring Carbapenem-Hydrolyzing Class D {beta}-Lactamase from Acinetobacter lwoffii.

Acinetobacter lwoffii, a species whose natural habitat is the human skin, intrinsically possesses a chromosomal gene encoding a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamase, OXA-134. That species may t...

Bordetella holmesii bacteremia in asplenic children: Report of four cases initially misidentified as Acinetobacter lwoffii.

Activities of colistin- and minocycline-based combinations against extensive drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from intensive care unit patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Extensive drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii is a serious problem in the clinical setting. It is therefore important to find active antibiotic combinations that could be...

Diversity and antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter spp. in water from the source to the tap.
