Acinetobacter Baumannii

      Acinetobacter is a Gram-negative bacteria. This, (coccobacillus) rod-like, nearly round, usually short. Can affect the human immunodeficiency and are opportunistic human pathogen, infection (nosocomial), as the hospital, it is becoming increasingly important. In addition, I was isolated from water samples and soil in the environment. Bacteria of the genus lack flagella, are used to structure such as a whip, many bacteria to move, but I show flocking or convulsions motility. This may be due to the activity of the pole structure which can be type IV pili (TFP), and advances and retreats. May be due to produce a film having a sugar chain of high molecular weight behind bacteria advances, the release of polysaccharide motility Mani A. By running the test, such as the Acinetobacter SPP, clinical microbiologist, to distinguish members of the genus Acinetobacter from Moraxellaceae oxidase other.

      It is the only member of the Moraxellaceae devoid of cytochrome c oxidase. A. · baumannii complex is part ACB (of A. baumannii, Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU and A. calcoaceticus) of. Members of the ACB complex be configured (to determine the specific type of) a member speciation most important clinically genus is difficult. The A. · baumannii was identified (Enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, as Enterobacter species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogen ESKAPE; resistance to antibiotics that are responsible for the majority of hospital-acquired infection. It that are called, "Iraqibacter" so sudden appearance clearly in the treatment military facilities in Iraq during the war, groups colloquial A. baumannii of the pathogen high degree, for the military and serve veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan multidrug resistance continues to be a problem of (MDR) A. baumannii's is due to the transport of infection in military medical facilities many partially spread to private hospitals.

      Soldiers are at risk of trauma improvised explosive devices and shooting in (IED incident) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Baumannii of the injury at the time was thought that the infection has occurred to infection by A and earlier. In subsequent studies, it has been shown, but likely more that A. Mani can not be isolated from the environment rarely, it is acquired nosocomial infections. This result, baumannii is due to the ability of A probably remain on the surface of artificial for multiple facilities to wounded soldiers as well as a long period of time is exposed to incident evacuation process. Have been taken to level the facilities I patients first is stable she soldier, or he of those injured.

      Depending on the severity of the injury, and then warrior can be configured by the surgical team forward for stability and further transferred to the level II, and facilities. You can as a function of the regional logistics, before the wounded soldier is taken large hospital (level III) in the battle zone finally several times, to be transferred to and from these facilities. 1-3 days after patients usually have stabilized, they are transferred by air (level IV) regional facilities for additional treatment. Duty soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, is usually in the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany it. Finally, wounded soldiers will be transferred to a hospital in his home country for further treatment and rehabilitation. Acinetobacter infection seems to be this multi-exposure medical environment other be the cause of A. is becoming more common. Is the main complicating factor the treatment and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, A. · baumannii multidrug resistance, led to the death further.

Incidence of A. baumannii in Hospitals

      The presence of subsequent hospital and import of A. baumannii has been well documented. Usually, colonized patients, A.baumannii has been introduced in the hospital. Because there is resistant to drying and viability of artificial surface, it allows you to stay, to infect a new patient for some time finally. Baumannii suspect that the continuous use of antibiotics, was selected in a hospital setting for patients in the hospital it. In a survey of intensive care units in Europe, the A.baumannii, that you are responsible for 19.1% ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) cases were found in 2009.
