  • Radioresistens, a rare disease resides in various environments.
  • The mode of transmission is through contact with medical equipments and contaminated surfaces.
  • Its morphologically structure is coccobacilli, gram-negative and non-motile in nature. It can live in many places, even hospitals. It does not dry out simply. This is because of its special cellwalls.
  • These walls have a thin film and an outer part which helps to defend itself from cleaners and drugs, which exponentially increases the risk of infection in mankind.
  • The antigenic types of Acinetobacter radioresistens are not commonly detailed in literature due to its rarity and the complexity.
  • Medical equipment’s are the main targets of this pathogen by sticking and staying resulting unhygienic to an individual.
  • It is rigid to destroy due to its efficiency of survivability in water and inhibit antibiotics by hiding from immune system. Therefore, it’s really hard to treat. We need valuable ways to stop its spread and treat illnesses.
  • The body has two main kinds of defense to fight pathogens like A. radioresistens. First, here are physical barriers as skin and mucus. Also, certain cells like macrophages and also neutrophiles can engulf and destroy pathogens. This first line of shield is called innate immunity.
  • Another type is adaptive immunity. In this, B cells build antibodies specifically against these pathogens. T cells also get triggered to recognize and attack these pathogens.
  • Individuals hooked to ventilators are the major target of this pathogen causing pneumonia. It can also cause the bloodstream infections. Sometimes it grows on skin or in wounds.
  • It may live in the digestive or breathing systems also. A bloodstream infection can bring, chills, fever, vomiting, and confusion. A. radioresistens penetrates into the blood stream promoting inflammation in an infected individual’s wound to turn red, swell and ooze out the pus.
  • They have variations of high temperature. Their blood pressure dropped to low. Their he­art raced and breathing became difficult.
  • It is hard to find apart from types of spp of Acinetobacter.
  • To identify this pathogen accurate way is by subjecting it to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis by looking into their unique proteins present in its cell wall.
  • The control of spreading of its infections in people is important. This means controlling illnesses, using antibiotics wisely, watching for cases, and finding cases quickly using special tests.
  • We must be necessary to be careful to stop these pathogens.
