- Abstract
The efficacy of antimicrobial therapy for Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia has been difficult to establish because of confounding by underlying diseases, severity of infection, and differences in the pathogenicity of Acinetobacter species. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the effect of appropriate antimicrobial therapy on 14-day mortality after adjustment for multiple risk factors.
