Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections and high mortality rates. Evaluation of risk factors for such resistant infections may aid surveillance and diagnostic initiatives, as well as, can be crucial in early and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
Objective: To identify the risk factors in patients with resistant A.
Bionanotechnology is a budding area that combines engineering and biomedical sciences through the development of new functional systems and devices, especially related to medical use and their applications. DNA nanotechnology is one of the most widely studied fields for highly selective biosensing, imaging, drug delivery, and diagnostic purposes. Nanotechnology efficiently serves as a bridge between biotechnology and medical technology, and it offers great potential for medical and healthcare improvements.

Feynman, in a dinner talk in 1959, very rightly said that there is enough room for the betterment of technology beyond our scope of imagination, proposing utilizing mechanical tools to make those that are relatively smaller than the others, which further can be rendered fruitful in making even more compact mechanical devices, all the way down to the level of the smallest known atom, emphasizing that this is "a progress which I believe cannot be avoided". Feynman proposed that nanomachines, nanorobots, and nanodevices may eventually be utilized to construct a huge range of atomically accurate microscopic instruments and manufacturing equipment, as well as a large number of ultra-small devices and other nanoscale and microscale robotic structures.
