Acinetobacter Baumannii Nosocomial Infections

open access: yesPolish Journal of Surgery, 2013
Nosocomial infections caused by strains Acinetobacter baumannii strands are a growing clinical problem. The occurrence of multidrug-resistant strands is observed and that limits the ways of therapy considerably. The aim of the study was to determine the rate of infection and susceptibility spectrum of the species Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from ...

Treatment of Acinetobacter spp. infections

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2003
Acinetobacter spp. are predominantly nosocomial pathogens of growing importance. One of their important features is antimicrobial resistance that includes beta-lactams, aminoglycosides and quinolones. Imipenem, considered the most effective drug against Acinetobacter spp., is not universally active against clinical isolates and therapeutic options are ...
