Acinetobacter baumanii can cause serious healthcare associated infections (HAI) and the incidence is increasing with many strains showing resistant to multiple antibiotics. Acinetobacter spp. are associated with various clinical cases which sometimes is often fatal. Their abundant occurrence in nature and minimal nutritional requirements make them a potent pathogen to cause well-formed infection. They occur mostly in the ICUs as most of the patients are on ventilator. MDR strains are associated with critically ill patients. Acinetobacter infection is associated with increased morbidity and a prolonged length of hospital stay. The duration of hospital stay is directly associated with the related infections caused by Acinetobacter spp and MDR Acinetobacter spp. An Acinetobacter can cause mild to severe illness but can be fatal. Most infections occur in healthcare facilities and particularly attack inpatients who are critically ill.
