Background Acinetobacter baumannii strains are currently the most commonly isolated non-
fermenting rods at Polish intensive care units (ICUs), and they are the dominant aetiological
agents of pneumonia. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of A. baumannii isolated
from patients who were hospitalised at Sosnowiec Hospital's ICU. We also investigated the
drug sensitivity of A. baumannii in relation to antibiotic consumption expressed as the
defined daily dose (DDD) and Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Methods We performed a …
