Abstract

We may soon be facing the end of the “antibiotic era.” The initial and seemingly unstoppable success of antibiotics, the fruit of human ingenuity, has been countered by an escalation of resistance mechanisms in bacteria. This crisis has been described as an “unwinnable war” (www.wellcome.org). The statistics compiled as a result of surveillance efforts illustrate the emergence of many genera of bacteria that are resistant to all antibiotics (57, 60). The genus Acinetobacter epitomizes this trend and deserves close attention. Acinetobacter spp. display mechanisms of resistance to all existing antibiotic classes as well as a prodigious capacity to acquire new determinants of resistance (7). The increasing recovery in the clinic of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii is a frightening reality (112). This review summarizes the worldwide emergence of antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii as a nosocomial pathogen and focuses on its mechanisms of resistance against selected antibiotics. It concludes with a summary of current strategies in the treatment of MDR A. baumannii and offers perspectives on the control of this global public health threat.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
