dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Acinetobacter species are aerobic gram-negative bacteria that are ubiquitous in nature. Being a multidrug-resistant and an invasive pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the major causes of nosocomial infections in the current healthcare system. It has been recognized as an agent of pneumonia, septicemia, meningitis, urinary tract and wound infections, and is associated with high mortality. We aimed this study to evaluate resistance pattern of a threatening pathogen i.e., Acinetobacter baumannii. Materials and method: The present study was conducted in Microbiology Department of SBKSMIRC, Dhiraj Hospital, Waghodia, Gujarat during May 2022 to December 2022. This study included all Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from all ages and microbiological specimens which were referred to Central Microbiology Laboratory of Dhiraj Hospital. The Non-Lactose fermenting, oxidase negative organisms are kept in VITEK 2 automated system for identification and sensitivity. All isolates identified as Acinetobacter baumannii were included in the study. Results: This study included a total of 52 isolates of A.baumannii. Out of which 33% were respiratory samples (sputum, Endo-tracheal secretions), 33% were pus samples, 11% were urine samples and 23% were included in other (blood, CSF, Body fluids). The most resistant drug was ceftriaxone (88.46%). Tigecycline was found to be 100% sensitive.Conclusion: This study concludes that Tigecycline is the only drug which is most sensitive for A. baumannii and other higher drugs such as Polymixin B, Colistin etc. shows less resistance. Acinetobacter infection would remain a therapeutic challenge in our hospital and health care settings due to the increasing rate of Acinetobacter species with traits of MDR and resistance to high potent antimicrobial agents.en_US
