Acinetobacter is a group of bacteria commonly seen in environments such as soil and water. The most prevalent organism of this species is Acinetobacter baumannii, which causes infections in the human body. It causes various types of disease, including those in the blood, urinary tract, lungs (causing pneumonia), and wounds in the body. Sometimes, it can reside in the human body without showing symptoms, specifically in the respiratory secretions or open wounds. These bacteria have become so resistant to antibiotics and so cause a significant challenge by not responding to the antibiotics designed to combat them. With drug-specific resistance, they can be named so, for instance, if resistant to carbapenems, they are called carbapenems-resistant. If they become resistant to multiple drugs, they are known as multidrug-resistant. The transmission of Acinetobacter can occur via contaminated surfaces or shared equipment if not adequately cleaned. Person-to-person spread can also occur, often through contaminated hands. Thus, patients and caregivers are advised to maintain proper hand hygiene through regular handwashing with soap and water or using alcohol-based sanitizers, especially before and after tending to wounds or handling medical devices. To ensure safety, it is crucial to follow the protocols of the healthcare providers and caregivers and provide regular cleaning of the patients the area where they are staying and their shared equipment.
Treatment of Acinetobacter infections typically involves the administration of antibiotics. Healthcare providers rely on laboratory cultures to determine which antibiotics are effective against the specific strain. Unfortunately, many Acinetobacter strains have developed resistance to numerous antibiotics, including carbapenems, which complicates the treatment process. This resistance underscores the pressing need for vigilant infection control practices and the development of alternative treatment strategies.
