Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the important cause of nosocomial infection in health care systems. A. baumannii has been shown to acquire antibiotic resistance elements quickly. Recently, this Gram-negative bacilli has shown resistance to the most of available antibiotics followed by emergence of multiple (MDR) and extensive drug resistance (XDR) strains. This has partly been due to extensive use of broad spectrum antibiotics especially in burned patients. Aminoglycoside used with beta- lactam antibiotics commonly. So, resistance to aminoglycoside can lead to appearance MDR strains of A. baumannii.
MDR strains of A. baumannii can make serious problem and increase mortality and morbidity especially in immunosuppress patients like hospitalized one.
