Information from the abstract
OBJECTIVES: To define the clinical features of Acinetobacter spp. infection in Northern Thailand, including a comparison of hospital-acquired culture positives (HACP) and community-acquired infections (CAIs). METHODS: A prospective clinical study of Acinetobacter spp. infections at two Northern Thailand hospitals from 2019 to 2022. RESULTS: Of 129 enrolled patients, 81.4% had Acinetobacter spp. isolated from a respiratory sample. A significant minority (25.6%) of infections were CAIs, 33.3% of which were admitted to ITU within 24hours of admission. Compared to HACPs, CAIs were significantly more likely to be caused by blood (15.2%, p=0.0258), wound (21.2%, p=0.0120), or urine infections (12.1%, p=0.0370). A high proportion of Acinetobacter spp. HACPs occurred in patients admitted to ITU (52.1%) and were more likely to be multidrug-resistant than CAIs (76.3% vs. 34.4%, p
