Ebook "Acinetobacter: Biology and pathogenesis" recent observations of community acquired infections have been reported, especially in patients with various risk factors such as immuno-deficiencies. Also, it is now becoming evident that Acinetobacter infections occur frequently in violent situations such as earthquake or war zones.

The present study confirms the multi-drug resistant nature of Acinetobacter species, and highlights the correlation between its incidence and duration of hospitalization. Rigorous use of standard precautions and minimizing hospital stay would reduce infection, and consequently, antibiotic overuse, which contributes further to drug resistance. In addition, a robust antibiotic policy and antibiotic stewardship in the hospital can minimize its incidence.

Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) is a growing problem all around the world particularly for countries with aging and high-density population such as Vietnam. In this review, we summarized the current status of HAIs in Vietnam regarding types of infection, rates of infection, hospital-stay duration and cost of treatment, and provided an overview with suggestions on strategies in combating these infections especially in Vietnamese settings. From quite dispersed and varied data reported in English and Vietnamese, we have seen HAI rates of less than 10%.

Acinetobacter species has been increasingly reported as the cause of nosocomial infections and possess a serious threat to the health care system because of its multi-drug resistance. The present study was a prospective study carried out in the Department of Microbiology from August 2013 to November 2015 in a tertiary care hospital to isolate and speciate Acinetobacter species from clinical samples and to determine their antibiogram.

The study was done in Department of Microbiology, RMC, Loni. The clinical samples were subjected to Gram staining, aerobic culture using MacConkey and blood agar. Acinetobacter species were identified by standard microbiological identification methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion technique and according to CLSI guidelines.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterial species capable of provoking several clinical manifestations and possessing several mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, besides adapting to adverse situations, thus enabling its permanence in health centers. The broad spectrum of infections caused by this species also includes eye infections, which may lead to a serious clinical outcome depending on the circumstances. Endophthalmitis is one of the most serious complications amongst ophthalmological infections, which can be caused by fungi and bacteria.

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving procedure, but it is associated with a high risk of acquiring respiratory infections. Hence to prevent it and initiate empirical antimicrobial therapy, knowledge of microbial profile and their local antimicrobial sensitivity pattern are essential. A prospective analytical study of Endotracheal tube (ETT) aspirates of mechanically ventilated patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was done over a period of six months (Dec2015-May2016).

The nosocomial infections are most important medical complications in all areas of the world and they remain one of the main sources of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Acinetobacter bacteria has appeared over the last era as significant opportunistic pathogen liable for nosocomial infections, although it is commonly related with benign colonization of hospitalized patients. The present investigation is carried out to isolate, identify Acinetobacter species from the different samples collected from tertiary care hospitals.

Acinetobacter species are the commonest pathogens causing nosocomial infections. Acinetobacter is essentially resistant to many antibiotics and they are known to produce extended spectrum beta lactamase and metalo beta lactamase. Aim of the study is to detect Metalo beta lactamase producing Acinetobacter spp. from clinical samples in tertiary care hospital. Between January 2015 and June 2015, total 368 Acinetobacter spp were isolated from different clinical samples.

Acinetobacter, has been identified as an important pathogen in nosocomial outbreaks with high levels of emerging drug resistance. So the present study was conducted in Acinetobacter spp to find out the utility of the multiplex PCR assay, which may be used as a useful technique in the early detection & prevention of NDM-1 gene harbouring in clinical isolates taken from the patients coming to the tertiary care hospital.

Acinetobacter causes a wide variety of illness in debilitated and hospitalized patients. Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter is an emerging problem and is a cause of concern as many nosocomial infections with Acinetobacter are resistant to most other antibiotics. The present study was aimed to study metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) production in Acinetobacter species. During one year study (Sep.2010 to Aug.2011), all isolates of Acinetobacter obtained from various clinical samples like respiratory, pus, blood and others were included.

This situation prompts early and accurate detection of MBL producers. Hence the present study was done to phenotypically evaluate the prevalence of MBL production among 235 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (183) and Acinetobacter species (52). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method.

Non fermenting Gram Negative Bacilli (NFGNB) once considered as contaminants, now emerged as a major cause of life threatening nosocomial infections and as multidrug resistant pathogens. Acinetobacter species are the opportunistic pathogens with increasing prevalance in the nosocomial infections. Community acquired infections are also common in Acinetobacter. It accounts for 10% of all community-acquired bacteremic pneumonias. To isolate, identify and detect Carbapenem resistance producing Acinetobacter spp., and confirm Metallo Beta Lactamase ( MBL) production by phenotypic methods.

Bacterial species from the ESKAPE group (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter species) have high resistance rates by escaping the action of the antimicrobials and are responsible for two third of all health care associated infections. Aim of our study was to find out the bacterial profile and characterize the antimicrobial resistance in ESKAPE pathogens isolated from various specimens. A three year retrospective study was undertaken.

Non-fermenting gram negative bacilli (NFGNB) have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infection. They can be recovered from the hospital environment, commonly cause device related infections, are often resistant to disinfectant. These NFGNB are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics which are used in critically ill patients. Aims: To know the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of NFGNB from various clinical specimens. The main objectives of this study is to know the various NFGNB and the prevalence in hospital.

Carbapenem resistance has become a worldwide issue and a major reason of concern for the treating physicians. Plasmid mediated metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) as well as oxacillinases (OXA) are responsible for carbapenem resistance. Various phenotypic as well as genotypic screening methods are used for detecting carbapenemases and MBLs. The strains were first and foremost screened for carbapenem resistance by Kirby-Bauer Disc Diffusion method.

Honey is defined as a natural sweet substance which is produced from the floral nectar by honeybees. Honey is well-known for its antimicrobial activities and it has been reported to have antibacterial effect to about 60 species of bacteria and antifungal properties as well. Honey has been used to inhibit these bacteria as well as to prevent and treat skin and other infections. Honey as a tropical antibacterial agent for treatment of infected wounds. The natural ingredients of honey show different activities against various microorganisms.

Otitis Media is inflammation of the middle ear, which often causes hearing loss. It is one of the common ear infections addressed very frequently. Appropriate treatment at right time is necessary to prevent adverse complications. The common bacteria causing Otitis Media are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter species, Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis and common fungi causing otitis media are mainly Candida non albicans and Aspergillus species.
