Sir Hospital-acquired infections in critically ill patients remain one of the most important contributors to morbidity and mortality. Hospital-acquired A. baumannii has emerged as a serious threat to ICU patient population. The main purpose of our study was to determine the incidence of ICU acquired imipenem-resistant A. baumannii and its impact on ICU mortality. This prospective study was carr...

INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major pathogen causing infections in intensive care units (ICUs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the presence of A. baumannii in an ICU environment and gloves from ICU workers and to characterize the antimicrobial resistance of the isolates in comparison with those isolated from ICU patients at the same hospital. METHODS: ICU samples were collec...

conclusions it is clear that new antimicrobials are needed to treat mdr a. baumannii. polymyxins and tigecycline are among the fewrnantibiotics available to treat infections with these bacteria but little was known about the antimicrobial activity of these agents. thernpresent study provided valuable information about the effects of the above mentioned drugs that can be used for health policy. ...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC We read the report entitled “Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in intensive care unit patients in a hospital with building construction: is there an association?” [1] with great interest. In this report, Kamalbeik et al. [1] concluded that “further research is necessary to establish a relationship between A. baumannii and soil...

BACKGROUND Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (IRAB) is an important cause of hospital-acquired infection. We aimed to describe an outbreak of IRAB infection and to investigate its possible source in an intensive care unit. METHODS An environmental investigation was undertaken. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by microdilution. These isolates were genotyped by use of...
