The increase in the prevalence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections in hospital settings has rapidly emerged worldwide as a serious health problem.
This review synthetizes the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii, highlighting resistance mechanisms.
Understanding the genetic mechanisms of resistance as well as the associated risk factors is critical to develop and implement adequate measures to control and prevent acquisition of nosocomial infections, especially in an intensive care unit setting.
多药耐药鲍曼不动杆菌感染在医院环境中的流行率迅速上升,已成为全球严重的健康问题。
本综述综合了多药耐药鲍曼不动杆菌的流行病学情况,重点介绍了耐药机制。
了解耐药的遗传机制以及相关的危险因素对于制定和实施适当的措施来控制和预防医院获得性感染至关重要,尤其是在重症监护病房环境中。
