Epidemiological review of nosocomial infections caused by Acinetobacter baumanni

Abstract

One of the most important dilemmas that faced patients and medical staff in the past in health institutions is a hospital infection, and it continues at present. Nosocomial infections are caused by almost all organisms but are mostly caused by bacteria, and the species Acinetobacter baumannii is of clinical importance as. It is one of the main causes of nosocomial infections in most regions of the world. These species are characterized by their ability to grow with a wide temperature range between 15- 44 °C, causing common clinical multiples including Hospital-acquired pneumonia, Meningitis. Nosocomial, post-neurosurgical, and bloodstream infections. World Health Organization (WHO) has identified a group of twelve “significant” pathogenic including carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii as the supreme severe pathogens. The universal spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major universal problems in the twenty-first century. This evaluated that by the year 2050, an infection caused via resistant strains will result in three hundred million diseases. Relevant efforts must be combined to avoid complications caused by the universal spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains.
