ABSTRACT
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important
nosocomial pathogen. It is difficult to control
and treat. The most seriously ill patients and
those previously infected are more likely than others
to be infected or colonized by
A. baumannii.
The epidemiology of
A. baumannii infection is complex,
with the coexistence of epidemic and endemic
infections. The
A. baumannii are the species
isolated in 90 % of the nosocomial infections and in
92 % of the nosocomial bacteremias. The intensive
care units presented the greater number of nosocomial
bacteremias by
A. baumannii. The most common
sources of
A. baumannii are respiratory tract,
surgical wound, catheter, urinary tract and others.
The most frequently clinical manifestation is
sepsis and a fulminating course is observed when
the patient presents septic shock. Progressive resistance
of
A. baumannii to antimicrobial limits the
therapeutic options. The patients with A. baumannii
multidrug-resistant present an excessive rate of attributed
mortality, length of stay and costs.
