Origin of pan-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in a neonate with gastroschisis: nosocomial or agricultural source? A case report

Key Points

This case examines the origins of pan-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections in a neonate with gastroschisis.
Analyzed clinical data from a neonate diagnosed with pan-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection.
Investigated potential sources of infection including nosocomial (hospital-acquired) and agricultural environments.
PDR Acinetobacter baumannii infection was linked to both possible hospital and environmental sources.
Reinforcement of infection control strategies and expanded surveillance in community and agricultural settings was emphasized.

Abstract

This case highlights that PDR infections in neonates may not be solely hospital-acquired but may also arise from environmental or agricultural sources. Crucially, it underscores the importance of reinforcing infection control strategies and expanding antimicrobial resistance surveillance to community and agricultural environments to better detect, prevent, and contain emerging resistant strains.
