Pathogen Series | No. 01
Acinetobacter baumannii, Carbapenem-resistant Environmental Persistence, Healthcare Significance and the Role of UV Disinfection Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacillus and an opportunistic pathogen. It has a high infection rate amongst immunocompromised individuals, particularly those who have experienced a prolonged greater than hospital stay. It has been recognized to cause infections such as pneumonia, septicaemia, meningitis, urinary tract and wound infection
