KEGG   DISEASE: Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter infection
Entry
H00309                      Disease                                
Name
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter infection
Description
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a worldwide problem as a nosocomial pathogen in hospitalized patients. It can cause bacteremia, pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infection, wound infection, and nosocomial infections. Isolates resistant to almost all commercially available antimicrobials have been identified.
