- Acinetobacter baumannii is a resilient, gram-negative bacterium that poses a significant threat in healthcare settings due to its rapid development of antibiotic resistance, particularly to carbapenems.
- A study analyzed data from a large hospital to identify risk factors associated with pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) compared to carbapenem-susceptible strains (CSAB).
- Findings revealed that patients with CRAB pneumonia had a higher mortality rate, with specific risk factors including high APACHE II scores, chronic health issues, use of invasive devices, and prior antibiotic use within 28 days.
