Overview

Acinetobacter infections are a type of bacterial infection caused by a group of bacteria called Acinetobacter. These infections can affect the lungs, urinary tract, skin, and blood and can be serious or even life-threatening. Acinetobacter can be spread through contact with objects or people that have the bacteria on them. Symptoms of Acinetobacter infections can depend on where the infection takes place, but may include fever, chills, coughing, difficulty breathing, and urinary tract pain. Treatment for an Acinetobacter infection usually involves antibiotics, and in severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary. It is important to seek medical care if you suspect you may have an Acinetobacter infection as it can become life-threatening if left untreated. Education on sanitation and proper hygiene is also important as it can help prevent the spread of Acinetobacter infections.
