Risk Factors for and Clinical Outcomes of Polymicrobial <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> Bloodstream Infections

Abstract

Approximately one-fifth of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> bloodstream infections were polymicrobial in this cohort. The main sources were skin and soft tissue infections, and burn injury was the only independent risk factor. Although mortality did not differ between the groups, considering the limitations of the study, further studies are required to assess the impact of polymicrobial (vs. monomicrobial) <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> bloodstream infection on outcomes.
