We describe an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in a
COVID-19 dedicated hospital. The suspected mechanism of transfer was an environmental
source that persisted despite evacuation and terminal cleaning of the entire hospital, and
transmitted through healthcare workers' hands or equipment. This outbreak demonstrates
that practices to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms must not be neglected
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
