Acinetobacter infection

Acinetobacter bacteria are conditional pathogens. When the body's resistance decreases, it is easy to cause body infections. It is one of the important opportunity pathogens that cause infection in hospitals. The bacteria can cause respiratory infections, sepsis, meningitis, endocarditis, wounds and skin infections, urogenital infections and so on. Severe cases can lead to death. The susceptible population is the elderly, infants and other people with low resistance. In recent years, the outbreak and resistance of the bacteria in hospitals have been increasing, and they have multiple drug resistance, so they have attracted clinical attention.
