Consultant Paediatric neurologist, King Fahad Military Hopsital, Jeddah21159, Saudi Arabia E-mail: [email protected]; Tel: 00966 535556205 Managing Acinetobacter baumannii infection is challenging during the treatment of infected ventriculoperitoneal shunt due to its propensity to develop multi drug resistance (MDR) to commonly used potent antibiotics in hospital settings. We present one such case with the challenge in its management.

Background & Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative pathogen that causes a wide range of hospital-acquired infections. Due to its intrinsic traits and its remarkable abilities to quickly acquire resistance genes, it has become resistant to most antimicrobial agents and a major problem for hospitals. In recent years, application of lytic bacteriophages has been considered to eradicate ...

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important bacterium that emerged as a significant nosocomial pathogen worldwide. The rise of A. baumannii was due to its multi-drug resistance (MDR), while it was difficult to treat multi-drug resistant A. baumannii with antibiotics, especially in pediatric patients for the therapeutic options with antibiotics were quite limited in pediatric patients. A. baumannii ...
