ABSTRACT
Objective · To analyze the clinical distribution and drug resistance of Acinetobacter junii (A. junii) and Acinetobacter lwoffii (A. lwoffii) from a grade 3A hospital in Shanghai, China, and provide the foundation for prevention and control of infections caused by them. Methods · A. junii and A. lwoffii were collected from the hospital between Aug, 2011 and Aug, 2016. VITEK2 Compact of bioMérieux (French) was used for bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility tests, clinical information of each strain was also analyzed. Results · 28 strains of A. junii and 58 strains of A. lwoffii were enrolled. A. junii was mainly from the departments of urology, thoracic surgery and geriatrics, and the samples were mainly sputum and urine. The resistant rates of A. junii to gentamicin, ampicillin sulbactam, piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole were 35.71%, 3.57%, 10.71%, 3.57%, 3.57%, 3.57%, 3.57%, 3.57%, 0, 3.57% and 35.71%, respectively. A. lwoffii was mainly isolated from the departments of urology, geriatrics, respiratory and renal medicine, and the samples mainly included urine, blood and sputum. The rates of antibiotics (mentioned above) resistance were 29.31%, 13.79%, 13.79%, 6.90%, 20.69%, 18.97%, 12.07%, 15.52%, 18.97%, 31.03% and 31.03%, respectively. The levels of antibiotic resistance of these two strains were constant during the five years. Conclusion · A. junii and A. lwoffii antibiotic resistant rates were much lower than those of reported A. baumannii, the over-all antibiotic resistances of A. junii were lower than those of A. lwoffii. This study provided fundamental data for prevention or control of these two strains by empirical use of antibiotics.
ABSTRACT
Mycotic aneurysms are uncommon, but are fatal without appropriate management. Previous reports have shown that anaerobes and gram-negative organisms are less common but more dangerous than other causative agents of mycotic aneurysm. We report the case of a 60-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis in the aorta, and a 10-day of history of lower abdominal pain and fever. This man was diagnosed with an uncommon abdominal aorta mycotic aneurysm caused by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Acinetobacter lwoffii. The aneurysm was successfully treated with antibiotics therapy and aorto-bi-external iliac artery bypass with debridement of the infected aortic wall. We present this case together with a review of the relevant literature.

Objective:To clone and sequence of 16S~23S r RNA intergenic spacer region of Proteus mirabilis and Acinetobacter lowffii for further identification of these two bacteria by means of molecular probe.Methods: The PCR universal clinical common pathogenic bacteria primers for 16S and 23S rRNA's conserved sequences were designed.Then the genomes of these two bacteria were amplified,T Vector clones were constructed with PMD-18 T Vector ad PCR products.The vectors were sequenced and the sequence was submitted to Genbank.Results: T Vector clones were constructed with products amplified by using universal primers;according to Blast analyses,the results of sequencing were determined as ISR sequences of the two kinds of bacteria.And the reports to Genbank were accepted.Conclusion: Genbank accepted the cloning and sequencing results of Proteus mirabilis and Acinetobacter lwoffii as new sequences.And these sequences can be used to identify the two bacteria by universal primers.
