Management of an Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Alert in a French University Hospital

University Hospital, Strasbourg, France148 enrolled

Overview

Colonization with imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (IBA) is an unfavorable event for the patient, especially in intensive care. Indeed, it exposes the patient to the risk of developing serious infections, extremely difficult to treat. ABRI is a particularly resistant bacterium in the environment. When an ABRI epidemic occurs in a department as central to the hospital as a surgical resuscitation department, the control of such an event can be extremely complex. There are few clear and detailed descriptions in the literature of how to manage this type of outbreak, let alone an ABRI outbreak of this magnitude.
