چکیده
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important pathogens in intensive care units related to morbidity and mortality. Colistin is being used increasingly as “salvage” therapy for these patients. However, resistance to colistin in A. baumannii has recently been reported. We herein present a case in which ventilator-associated pneumonia due to A. baumannii developed in one of our patients in the intensive care unit. Colistin was initiated in the patient; however, resistance was observed during the treatment. Our aim in presenting this case is to attract attention to the potential risks of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter infections in Turkey.
