We may soon be facing the end of the "antibiotic era." The initial and seemingly unstoppable success of antibiotics, the fruit of human ingenuity, has been countered by an escalation of resistance mechanisms in bacteria. This crisis has been described as an "unwinnable war" (www.wellcome.org). The statistics compiled as a result of surveillance efforts illustrate the emergence of many genera of bacteria that are resistant to all antibiotics (57, 60). The genus Acinetobacter epitomizes this trend and deserves close attention. Acinetobacter spp. display mechanisms of resistance to all existing antibiotic classes as well as a prodigious capacity to acquire new determinants of resistance (7). The increasing recovery in the clinic of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii is a frightening reality (112). This review summarizes the worldwide emergence of antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii as a nosocomial pathogen and focuses on its mechanisms of resistance against selected antibiotics. It concludes with a summary of current strategies in the treatment of MDR A. baumannii and offers perspectives on the control of this global public health threat. |
