Two hundred twenty-one isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and 15 of Acinetobacter genospecies 3 (AG3) were consecutively collected in a 30-day period during the nationwide project GEIH-Ab2000. Nosocomial acquisition (P=0.01), intensive care unit admission (P=0.02), and antibiotic pressure (P = 0.03) were observed to be lower in the AG3 group. AG3 isolates were more frequently implied in wound infections (P=0.05), while A. baumannii tended to be recovered from respiratory samples (P=0.08). To our knowledge, this is the first report analyzing the clinical differences among Acinetobacter genospecies, with our findings suggesting that clinical features of AG3 may not be equivalent to those traditionally described for A. baumannii.
在全国性项目 GEIH-Ab2000 期间的 30 天内,连续采集了 221 株鲍曼不动杆菌和 15 株不动杆菌种 3(AG3)。医院获得性感染(P=0.01)、重症监护病房入院(P=0.02)和抗生素压力(P=0.03)在 AG3 组中较低。AG3 分离株更常与伤口感染有关(P=0.05),而鲍曼不动杆菌则倾向于从呼吸道样本中恢复(P=0.08)。据我们所知,这是首次分析不动杆菌种之间临床差异的报告,我们的研究结果表明,AG3 的临床特征可能与传统描述的鲍曼不动杆菌不同。
