Abstract Introduction The incidence of Acinetobacter baumannii meningitis, which typically
occurs after neurosurgery, has increased in recent years. Pediatric Acinetobacter baumannii …

OBJECTIVE The authors aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of
Acinetobacter isolates responsible for nosocomial meningitis/ventriculitis in the …

Background Postoperative central nervous system infections (PCNSIs) represent a serious
complication, and the timely use of antibiotics guided by the identification of the causative …

A member of the ESKAPE family of pathogens, A. baumannii, is an opportunistic gram-
negative multidrug-resistant bacterium. A. baumannii is a ubiquitous coccobacillus involved …

Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic bacterium of the multidrug-resistant (MDR)
ESKAPE family of pathogens, is responsible for 2–10% infections associated with all gram …

The purpose of this study is to analyze recent epidemiologic trend of adult bacterial
meningitis (ABM) in Taiwan. The clinical features, laboratory data and therapeutic outcomes …

Background: Intra-cranial bacterial infection is a serious complication in emergency
neurosurgical patients, and few data are available on the trends of these infections and the …

Objectives: Intracranial infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative
pathogens are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. As therapeutic options are …

Introduction. Postoperative meningitis (POM) is an infection with high mortality and morbidity
following central nervous system surgery due to trauma or tumor. Intrathecal/intraventricular …
