The Importance of Acinetobacter Species in the Hospital Environment

INTRODUCTION: species is associated with health care associated infections especially in patients on respiratory therapy equipment and indwelling catheters. They are becoming increasingly drug resistant. The knowledge of the prevalence and pattern of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Acinetobacter spp. is important. AIMS: spp. from various clinical samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS: isolates were done by modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. RESULTS: was the most common species responsible for wound infection (84,8%), pneumonia(96,15%), abscess (72.7%), urinary tract infection (85,7%) and septicemia(89,5%). CONCLUSION: infection.
