Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is the major pathogen causing nosocomial infectious diseases in the world due to various intrinsic and acquired mechanisms of drug resistance. There are no effective treatments for the infections caused by multidrug-resistant A. baumannii and extensively-resistant A. baumannii. This review lists standard drugs and new options for the treatment.
