Isolation & Genomic Characterisation of a Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii ST149 From India: An Emerging Threat Beyond the Known International Clones

Isolation & genomic characterisation of a Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ST149 from India: An emerging threat beyond the known international clones

BackgroundMultidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-fermenting, and strictly aerobic bacillus. It causes high mortality and morbidity rates among hospitalized patients with a compromised immune system. Whole genome sequencing, Multi...

Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Environmental Bacteria from Sewage Water in Vellore, India: Isolation, Virulence Analysis and Characterization - AMR Insights

The rise of antibiotic resistance is a global concern, with environmental sources, particularly wastewater, playing a crucial role in the spread of resistant bacteria. A study in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, investigated the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from sewage receiving hospital wastewater. The study identified ten bacterial strains, most of which exhibited multidrug resistance (MDR), with notable varia…
