Background
Microbiology
- Non-motile, aerobic, oxidase negative, non-fermentative, Gram-negative coccobacillus
- Member of the genus Acinetobacter with low pathogenicity
Epidemiology
- Rare cause of disease in humans
- Mostly affects immunocompromised patients or critically ill patients
- Possible association with malignancy
Clinical Manifestations
- Primary bacteremia
- Urinary tract infection
- Hospital-associated pneumonia
Management
- Often susceptible, but should still treat broadly (e.g. meropenem) and narrow based on susceptibilities
Further Reading
