Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii represents a major health threat, in particular among immunocompromised cancer patients. The rise in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii , and the development of resistance to the last-resort antimicrobial agent colistin, complicates the management of A. baumannii outbreaks and increases mortality rates.
