“…In recent years, Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen in intensive care units (7,16,17,34,36,38). This organism is capable of causing life-threating infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia, and meningitis (2,3,6,32), and it is often multidrug resistant and difficult to erradicate.…”

“…Solo se obtuvieron cultivos positivos de un laringoscopio y un oxi'metro que habian sido utilizados en un nifio con AC A y desinfectados, despues de usar y antes de tomar las muestras, con Clorospar® al 0,5%, de acuerdo a las normas de la unidad. Este hallazgo es similar a lo publicado en otros casos de infecciones intrahospitalarias 3 ' 10 y a rai'z de el se inicio la desinfeccion con glutaraldehido. resultando negatives todos los cultivos de control posteriores.…”

“…Acinetobacter junii'nin neden olduğu enfeksiyonları tanımlayan raporların çoğu doğrulama testleri olarak moleküler bir metod (özellikle 16S rRNA gen sekansı) kullanmaktadırlar (10,17,25,26). Bu raporlar Acinetobacter ailesindeki türlerin doğru belirlenmesi için moleküler metodların önemini göstermişlerdir.…”
