To the Editor: In the January 2007 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Sunenshine et al. (1) described their finding of an independent association between patients with multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter infection and increased hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay compared with that for patients with antimicrobial drug–susceptible Acinetobacter infection. The authors did not, however, find a statistically significant difference in mortality rates between the 2 groups of patients.
