| Acinetobacter is a group of bacteria commonly found in soil and water, but they can survive on various surfaces (moist and dry). Acinetobacter bacteria can also be found on the skin of healthy people, especially healthcare personnel. While there are many types or "species" of Acinetobacter and all can cause human disease, Acinetobacter baumannii accounts for about 80% of reported infections. Unfortunately, strains of A. baumannii that are multi-drug (antibiotic) resistant are becoming a problem in healthcare settings worldwide. |
