The role of Acinetobacter baumannii in infectious pathology (literature review)

https://doi.org/10.36604/1998-5029-2025-97-160-177

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most frequently detected infectious agents worldwide, the important features of which are a high mutation rate, leading to the rapid development of antibiotic resistance, and resistance to disinfection. This review presents information on the significance of this pathogen in infectious pathology, the mechanisms underlying diseases associated with A. baumannii, virulence factors, multiple drug resistance of the pathogen, its resistance to aggressive environmental factors, the methods used by the pathogen to colonize and infect the human body, risk factors for infection, and clinical forms of the diseases it causes. The choice of drugs for the treatment of infections caused by A. baumannii is discussed. A search and analysis of scientific publications was carried out using electronic library search systems – eLIBRARY.ru, PubMed, Google Scholar, CyberLeninka
