摘要: Abstract One strain of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus biovar anitratus caused colonization 111 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) during a 2-year period. All were intubated and had received antibiotic therapy prior colonization. Morbidity due the organism was about 1%. The rate showed decreasing trend study period, but no seasonal variation. found in air low concentration on hands 8–13% members staff. No chronic carriers found.
