Acinetobacter in surface waters are a major concern because of their rapid development of resistance to a wide range of antimicrobials and their ability to persist in these waters for a very long time. Four surface water isolates of Acinetobacter having both multidrug- and multimetal-resistant ability were isolated and identified through biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequencing. Based on these analyses, two hemolytic isolates were affiliated with Acinetobacter haemolyticus with an accession…

Antimicrobial activity of trans‐cinnamic acid and commonly used antibiotics against important fish pathogens and nonpathogenic isolates
TLDR
The antibacterial activity of trans‐cinnamic acid and commonly used antibiotics, namely chloramphenicol, vancomycin, streptomycin and erythromycin, were tested against 32 bacteria, including fish pathogens, nonpathogenic isolates and collection strains.

Characterization of lead-resistant river isolate Enterococcus faecalis and assessment of its multiple metal and antibiotic resistance
TLDR
Findings indicated that the lead resistance genes of E. faecalis were located on the chromosomal DNA rather than the plasmid, and the antibiotic resistance pattern of the cured derivatives did not demonstrate any change from the parental strain.
High levels of multiple metal resistance and its correlation to antibiotic resistance in environmental isolates of Acinetobacter
TLDR
A. genospecies3 was found to be the most resistant species, tolerating high concentrations of all the 20 metal ions and also to a greater number of antibiotics than any other species of Acinetobacter tested.

TLDR
Vegetables may be a natural habitat of A. baumannii and provide a route by which these bacteria are introduced into hospitals with obvious implications for infection control.

TLDR
The findings suggest that environmental contamination of field hospitals and infection transmission within health care facilities played a major role in this outbreak of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex infection among US service members injured in Iraq.
