Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is considered as an emerging nosocominal pathogen and is renowned for its multi-drug resistance. We report a case of community-acquired pan-resistant A. baumannii strain isolated from blood, pus , urine and tracheal aspirate was confirmed by 16S r-RNA sequence homology and found positive for metallo-ß-lactamase IMP-1, and was found to be a strong biofilm producer The isolate was only susceptible (moderately) to colistin.
