Summary

Researchers analyzed carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) — a dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacterium — in intensive care units across three hospitals and found it is common and growing increasingly resistant over time. Early identification and aggressive management are critical to stopping its spread in hospital settings.

We find that CRAB is prevalent within the ICU and is progressively resistant to antibiotics over time. Enhanced clinical understanding and timely management of CRAB infections will be crucial to minimize or even eliminate the spread of CRAB within the ICU setting.
