摘要

Introduction

Control of Acinetobacter baumannii is a challenge.

Methods

A survey was conducted on the control measures introduced against A baumannii in 30 Spanish hospitals.

Results

We found significant differences in the application of contact precautions, active surveillance, hygiene of colonised patients, environmental cleaning, and educational activities. Hospitals with a written control program for A. baumannii had a lower incidence of colonisation/infection due to this organism.

Conclusion

A multidisciplinary consensus document for the control of A. baumannii is needed in Spain.
