Acinetobacter spp. as causative agents of nosocomial infections in patients of intensive care unit

Abstract

During last decades, members of the genus acinetobacter cause serious nosocomial infections especially in intensive care units. The main sites of infection localization were the respiratory tract, blood-stream, surgical wounds. Data analysis showed an increase in the number of Acinetobacter spp. from 15,8 to 21,7 % in 2010 and 2015 respectively. All strains were resistant to most antibiotics and to carbapenems, too. Multiresistant hospital acquired bacteria, including acinetobacter, represent a serious public health issue rather than an individual hospital problem, and it would require an intensive coordinated effort to be effectively addressed.
