Skin and skin structure Acinetobacter infection

A skin and skin structure Acinetobacter infection is an opportunistic bacterial infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues caused by species of the aerobic, gram-negative genus *Acinetobacter*, predominantly the *Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii* complex Primarily acquired in healthcare settings or following traumatic injury, it frequently affects critically ill, hospitalized, or immunocompromised individuals with compromised epithelial barriers, such as surgical wounds, burns, or ...

A skin and skin structure Acinetobacter infection is an opportunistic bacterial infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues caused by species of the aerobic, gram-negative genus *Acinetobacter*, predominantly the *Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii* complex Pathophysiologically, the organism exploits damaged integument through biofilm formation and an ability to survive on dry surfaces, with clinical management often complicated by extensive multidrug resistance

Manifestations range from mild, purulent wound infections and cellulitis—which may present with edema and overlying vesicles—to invasive, life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis accompanied by tissue destruction and secondary bacteremia
