Antibacterial activity of chitosan-based nanohybrid membranes against drug-resistant bacterial isolates from burn wound infections

Antimicrobial combination effects against multidrug‐resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains: A cross‐sectional study

“… 1 , 2 P. aeruginosa produces numerous virulence factors and is responsible for wound and pulmonary infections in burn or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. 3 On the other hand, A. baumannii poses intrinsic antibiotic resistance and some virulence factors and accounts for various infections such as ventilator‐associated pneumonia, and wound and catheter infections. 1 , 4 However, antibiotic resistance is the common feature of these organisms that intensifies the infection treatment and outcome.…”

“…During the last decades, β‐lactam antibiotics especially carbapenems have been used to treat related infections. 3 …”

“…Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Gram‐negative microorganisms and account for opportunistic infections in immune‐compromised patients 1,2 . P. aeruginosa produces numerous virulence factors and is responsible for wound and pulmonary infections in burn or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients 3 . On the other hand, A. baumannii poses intrinsic antibiotic resistance and some virulence factors and accounts for various infections such as ventilator‐associated pneumonia, and wound and catheter infections 1,4 .…”

Ed .A Novel Strategy to Arrest Bacterial Pathogen Infestation Using Poly(o‐Phenylenediamine)/ Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

“…[15][16][17] Scant literature is available regarding biocompatibility and application of antimicrobial NCs as implantable biomaterials. [18] Recently, Rezaei et al, [19] reported development of biofunctionalized MMT with sulfate chains (SMMT) and their antibacterial activity was assessed against methicillin resistant S. aureus, vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. In another work, Ning et al [20] incorporated Co into MMT which led to enhanced surface area and dispersion of the metal.…”
