Infections with multi-drug resistant E. coli, which is also known as ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase), have been assumed to be a hospital phenomenon.
Abstract. Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized to be among the most difficult antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacilli to control and treat. Increasing antimicrobial resistance among Acinetobacter isolates has been documented, although definitions of multidrug resistance vary in the literature.owever, other studies have found poor correlation between patient mortality and the empirical choice of antimicrobial agents to which Acinetobacter infection was resistant [ 49, 55, 57 â 59 ]. Acinetobacter infection is associated with increased morbidity and a prolonged length of hospital stay.
