The impact of cell structure, metabolism and group behavior for the survival of bacteria under stress conditions

Xinyi Zhang et al.

Summary: Bacteria continuously adapt to external challenges to ensure survival, inducing specific stress responses involving genetic and cellular changes. Pathogenic bacteria must sense and withstand environmental stresses within hosts to maintain infection. Nucleic acids, cell envelopes, and ribosomes play crucial roles in bacterial stress responses.

Involvement of a multifunctional rhamnosyltransferase in the synthesis of three related Acinetobacter baumannii capsular polysaccharides, K55, K74 and K85

Johanna J. Kenyon et al.

Summary: The KL55, KL74, and KL85 capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis loci in Acinetobacter baumannii are related and contain genes for L-Rhap and n-GlopA synthesis. Structural analysis revealed that K55 and K74 CPSs have similar core structures with differences in linkage patterns, while K85 CPS differs in the number of L-Rhap residues in the side chain. Additionally, each K locus includes fewer glycosyltransferase genes than necessary, suggesting some glycosyltransferases may have multifunctional roles in forming linkages.

Analysis of Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Traits (Genetic and Phenotypic) in Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates from Pakistan: Identification of Significant Levels of Carbapenem and Colistin Resistance

Wajiha Imtiaz et al.

Summary: The study identified high levels of antibiotic resistance in clinical K. pneumoniae isolates from tertiary care hospitals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan, with significant prevalence of MDR-CRKP and hypermucoviscous traits. The presence of resistance to fosfomycin, the mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes in colistin-resistant isolates, and the detection of rmpA gene in CRKP clinical isolates highlight emerging resistance patterns and virulence factors in these strains.

Capsule carbohydrate structure determines virulence in Acinetobacter baumannii

Yuli Talyansky et al.

Summary: The study found that a mobile DNA fragment in a capsule assembly gene led to the high virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii, while repairing the gene resulted in the virulent strain becoming avirulent, with a single sugar being crucial for innate immune cells recognition and phagocytosis. By comparing genomes of A. baumannii strains, a specific gene variation associated with virulence was identified, showing that loss of a single capsule assembly gene dramatically altered virulence by affecting interactions between bacteria and host immune system.

Epidemiology of Biofilm Producing Acinetobacter baumannii Nosocomial Isolates from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Egypt: A Cross-Sectional Study

Ahmed Morad Asaad et al.

Summary: A high prevalence of biofilm-producing MDR and XDR A. baumannii nosocomial isolates was found in a tertiary care hospital in Egypt, with associated risk factors including length of hospital stay, presence of specific genes, antibiotic resistance, and MDR/XDR status. Characterization of these risk factors could help control the spread of this serious A. baumannii phenotype and improve patient care quality.

Acquired mucoid phenotype of Acinetobacter baumannii: Impact for the molecular characteristics and virulence

Wulin Shan et al.

Summary: The mucoid phenotype is an important adaptive defense response for Acinetobacter baumannii, impacting its molecular characteristics and virulence. Mucoid strains exhibit multidrug resistance and increased virulence compared to non-mucoid strains. The amount of biofilm production is not correlated with mucoid phenotype or antibiotic resistance in A. baumannii.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the proportion and associated mortality of polymicrobial (vs monomicrobial) pulmonary and bloodstream infections by Acinetobacter baumannii complex

Stamatis Karakonstantis et al.

Summary: This study found that polymicrobial Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) infections are common, with a pooled proportion of 27% of infections being polymicrobial. These infections were associated with lower 28-day mortality, but not with in-hospital mortality. However, due to considerable heterogeneity and limitations in defining polymicrobial infections, more research is needed to clarify the clinical impact of polymicrobial ABC infections.

Clonal change of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in a Korean hospital

So Hyun Jun et al.

Summary: The study investigated 96 CRAB isolates from a Korean hospital between 2016 and 2018, identifying clonal complex 208 as predominant. ST208 isolates showed higher resistance rates to minocycline, while ST369 isolates exhibited lower resistance rates to aminoglycosides and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Additionally, the study revealed evolutionary changes in CRAB isolates related to the emergence of new sequence types and selection of resistant genes.

Acinetobacter baumannii K106 and K112: Two Structurally and Genetically Related 6-Deoxy-l-talose-Containing Capsular Polysaccharides

Anastasiya A. Kasimova et al.

Summary: The whole genome sequences of two Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, 48-1789 and MAR24, revealed that they carry different capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis gene clusters, KL106 and KL112 respectively. Both clusters are related to previously described ones and share certain genes. The structures of CPS material from both isolates are different, with the K112 unit containing an α-l-rhamnose side chain not found in the K106 structure.

Summary: Acinetobacter baumannii, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, has gained notoriety in recent years for causing nosocomial infections in critically ill patients. Its global spread, multidrug resistance, and numerous virulence factors pose a serious threat to public health worldwide. Despite efforts to understand its successes, researchers are still confounded by its highly adaptive nature.

Summary: This case report describes the rare occurrence of a neck abscess caused by a strain of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in a middle aged man with diabetes who did not travel to East and South East Asia. The bacteria demonstrated hypervirulence and had the ability to evade the host's immune system, raising concerns about the potential spread of these life-threatening infections without the need for travel to endemic areas.

Summary: Acinetobacter species, especially A. baumannii, pose a significant threat in hospital environments, particularly in ICUs, due to their ability to develop antibiotic resistance mechanisms and cause biofilm-associated infections. Health care workers should focus on infection prevention and selective treatments to combat biofilm-related infections caused by A. baumannii.

Multidimensional Clinical Surveillance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Reveals Complex Relationships between Isolate Source, Morphology, and Antimicrobial Resistance

Laura J. Dunphy et al.

Summary: This study reveals that antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is influenced by both patient-centric factors and microbe-specific phenotypes. Isolates from different sources exhibit varying rates of resistance, correlated with source-specific antimicrobial prescription strategies. Furthermore, isolates from the same patient often display high levels of heterogeneity, posing a challenge for personalized treatment of infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms and Virulence of Colistin- and Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from a Teaching Hospital in Taiwan

Noor Andryan Ilsan et al.

Summary: In a teaching hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, seven carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates with colistin resistance were identified. The resistance to carbapenem was attributed to the bla(OXA-23) gene, while colistin resistance was likely due to mutations in the sensor kinase domain of PmrB. Overexpression of pmrC, eptA, and naxD genes were observed in all isolates, and some isolates with mutations in lpxD exhibited altered lipopolysaccharide profiles contributing to colistin resistance. No fitness cost was observed in the resistant isolates compared to the reference strain. Interestingly, one isolate showed heteroresistance to colistin, and four isolates were more virulent to wax moth larvae.
