Multidrug-Resistant<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>Infection, Colonization, and Transmission Related to a Long-Term Care Facility Providing Subacute Care

Abstract

We documented substantial MDR A. baumannii infections and colonization with probable intra- and interfacility spread associated with a single LTCF providing subacute care. Given the limited infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship resources in such settings, regional collaborations among facilities across the spectrum of health care are needed to address this MDR threat.
