Infection or colonization with Acinetobacter is usually diagnosed by clinical culture of blood, sputum, urine, wound, sterile body fluid, etc. Microbiologic cultures can be processed by standard methods on routine media.
Oxidase negative (opposite to Neisseria spp. or Moraxella spp.)
Haemolytic Indole negative.
Catalase positive.

Gram negative coccobacillus
Highly antibiotic resistant

One of the biggest issues with treating Acinetobacter baumannii is that the bacterium is naturally resistant to a number of antibiotics, making it challenging to find a drug regimen which will effectively attack it in an infected patien

Carbapenems (Imipenem and Meropenem) are the mainstay of treatment for antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative infections, though Carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter is increasingly reported.
Resistance to the Carbapenems class of antibiotics makes multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter infections difficult, if not impossible, to treat.
Multidrug-resistant A. baumannii is a common problem in many hospitals in the US and Europe. First line treatment is with a Carbapenems antibiotic such as imipenem, but carbapenem resistance is increasingly common. Other treatment options include Colistin, tigecycline and Aminoglycosides.
Colistin and Polymyxin B have been used to treat highly resistant Acinetobacter infections. The choice of appropriate therapy is further complicated by the toxicity of colistin which is mainly renal. Acinetobacter isolates resistant to colistin and Polymyxin B have also been reported.
History◦ Used extensively worldwide in topical otic and
ophthalmic solutions for decades◦ Intravenous Colistin was initially used in Japan and in
Europe during the 1950s, and in the United States in the form of colistimethate sodium in 1959
◦ The intravenous formulations of colistin and
polymyxin B were gradually abandoned in most parts of the world in the early 1980s because of the reported high incidence of nephrotoxicity
◦ Colistin was mainly restricted during the past 2 decades for the treatment of lung infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR), gram-negative bacteria in patients with cystic fibrosis
Numerous recent clinical studies have confirmed that colistin is an efficient antimicrobial agent against nosocomial infections, including bacteremia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and meningitis due to MDR GNB, such as P. aeruginosa, A.baumannii, and K. pneumonia, with an acceptable safety profile. Whereas colistin is mainly administered i.v. incritically ill patients, it can be safely be administered by inhalation in patients with pneumonia/VAP or intrathecally in patients with meningitis due to MDR GNB.
Mechanism of action:◦Target:
Bacterial cell membrane( Bactericidal). Colistin binding with the bacterial membrane
occurs through electrostatic interactions between the cationic polypeptide (colistin) and
anionic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules in the outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria leads to a derangement of the cell membrane
The result of this is an increase in the permeability of the cell envelope, leakage of cell contents, and, subsequently, cell death.
Important pharmacokinetic parameters:
◦ Colistin sulfate and colistimethate sodium are not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract with oral administration
◦ Primary route of excretion is through glomerular filtration
◦ Experimental studies have shown that colistin is tightly bound to membrane lipids of tissues,
including liver, lung, kidney, brain, heart, and muscles
◦ Concentration of colistin in the CSF is 25% of the serum concentration
Route Dosage
Intravenous • 2.5-5 mg/kg (31,250-62,500 IU/kg) per day, divided into 2-4
equal doses
• (1 mg of colistin equals 12,500 IU).
Modification of the total daily dose is required in the presence of renal impairment
Intramuscular •Same as IV
Inhalation • 40 mg (500,000 IU) every 12 h for patients <40 kg and 80 mg (1 million IU) every 12 h for patients >40 kg
• For recurrent pulmonary infections, the dose can be increased to 160 mg (2 million IU) every 8 h
Intraventricular/
intrathecal
(not FDA approved)
Limited data based on case reports
• Intrathecal dosage ranged from 3.2 mg (40,000 IU) to 10 mg (125,000 IU) given once per day
• Intraventricular dosage ranged from 10 mg (125,000 IU) to 20 mg (250,000 IU) per day (divided into 2 doses)
Loading dose should be given as an IV infusion over 2 hours.
Maintenance dose should be given as IV infusion can be given over 30 minutes.
First maintenance dose should be given 24 hours after loading dose.
IM administration is not recommended.Half-life is 3-4 hours in patients with normal
renal function, and up to 2-3 days inpatients with renal impairment.
Nephrotoxicity•The majority of nephrotoxic events are reversible•1970’s- incidence of nephrotoxicity was 20.2%•More recent studies- incidence of nephrotoxicity ranged from 8%-18%.•Lower incidence of Nephrotoxicity at present:
–Greater supportive treatment to critically ill patients–Close monitoring of renal function–Avoidance of co-administered nephrotoxic agents–Older formulations of Colistin contained a greater proportion of colistin sulfate (greater nephrotoxicity)
Acinetobacter rarely causes serious infection in otherwise healthy people and therefore poses minimal threat to healthcare workers or patients’ family members.
Pregnant healthcare workers are not at increased risk from this organism and can therefore care for patients infected or colonized with the organism.

Cardoso CL et al. Am J Infect Control 1999;27:327-331.
Although commonly found on the skin of healthy humans, Acinetobacter plays the role of an opportunistic pathogen in the critically ill patient
High level of antibiotic resistance makes it well suited as a pathogen in areas with high use of antibiotics (e.g., ICU setting)
Control requires good hand hygiene, barrier precautions & environmental decontamination◦ Alcohol-based products containing chlorhexidine
should be considered the hand hygiene agents of choice
