Acinetobacter baumannii is characterized by a rapid development of resistance to the
commonly used antimicrobial agents. We investigated the risk factors, clinical features, and
outcomes in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by extensive drug-resistant
Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB). Clinical parameters and overall in-hospital mortality
rates were compared between the VAP with and without XDRAB infection groups. This study
showed that VAP caused by XDRAB was not associated with in-hospital mortality. However …
