Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmid-Mediated Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence in Gram-Negatives: the Klebsiella pneumoniae Paradigm
TL;DR: The current information about the physiology of plasmids and their role in virulence and antibiotic resistance from the Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of the Naturally Competent Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolate A118
German Matias Traglia,Katherina Chua,Daniela Centrón,Marcelo E. Tolmasky,Maria Soledad Ramirez +4 more
TL;DR: WGC studies showed that unlike in most strains where comM is interrupted by an insertion of a resistance island (AbaR), in strain Ab A118 it is uninterrupted, and potentially involved in natural competence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Albumin and Ca2+ Are Natural Competence Inducers in the Human Pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii.
German Matias Traglia,Brettni Quinn,Sareda T. J. Schramm,Alfonso Soler-Bistué,Maria Soledad Ramirez +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that naturally competent strain A118 increases its natural transformation frequency upon the addition of Ca2+or albumin, and it is suggested that the main protein in blood enhances HGT in A. baumannii, contributing to the increase of AMR in this threatening human pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Achromobacter xylosoxidans: An Emerging Pathogen Carrying Different Elements Involved in Horizontal Genetic Transfer
German Matias Traglia,Marisa Almuzara,Andrea Karina Merkier,Christina Adams,Laura Galanternik,Carlos Vay,Daniela Centrón,Maria Soledad Ramirez +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that A. xylosoxidans clinical isolates contain a rich variety of genetic elements commonly associated with resistance genes and their dissemination, suggesting that this bacterium is becoming a reservoir of horizontal genetic transfer elements commonly involved in spreading antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry for species identification of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli.
Marisa Almuzara,Claudia Barberis,German Matias Traglia,Angela Famiglietti,Maria Soledad Ramirez,Carlos Vay +5 more
TL;DR: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to identify 396 Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli clinical isolates was evaluated in comparison with conventional phenotypic tests and/or molecular methods.
