Research Article: Characteristics of a Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strain Causing Community-Acquired Pneumonia in a Young Healthy Women

Date Published: 2023-12-23

Abstract:
Acinetobacter baumannii, a widely distributed Gram-negative coccus, has become a major nosocomial pathogen, contributing to % of global ICU infections. Its global spread, coupled with multidrug resistance and virulence factors, poses a significant threat to public health.– In the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) program for , results indicate a persistently high overall resistance rate of A. baumannii in South Korea, India, and China. This includes resistance to penicillin, cephalosporins, carbapenems, quinolones, and aminoglycosides, with rates exceeding .%, .%, .%, .%, and .%, respectively. Notably, China exhibits the lowest susceptibility to tigecycline among A. baumannii isolates when compared to other countries. Infections caused by A. baumannii are associated with a notably high mortality rate, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate reaching %.
