ABSTRACT

Acinetobacter baumannii belongs to Moraceae and Acinetobacter. In the past three decades, Acinetobacter baumannii has gradually developed into a very important hospital infection pathogen, and the number of hospital infection cases and outbreaks caused by this bacterium has gradually increased. Acinetobacter baumannii has a remarkable ability to quickly establish drug resistance mechanisms. Some strains are even resistant to all current antibiotics. The emergence of multi drug resistant strains has caused great difficulties in clinical treatment. In this paper, the epidemiological characteristics of Acinetobacter baumannii infection and its prevention and treatment strategies were reviewed.
