HI everyone
ID team have just recommended that we isolate in contact precautions an ICU patient with a sensitive Acinetobacter Baumannii in his sputum . Currently we only isolate and used contact transmission based precautions for multi resistant Acinetobacter Species.
The NHMRC guidelines do not include this pathogen in Section 6.4 Type and duration of precautions for specific infections and conditions .Until now we have always managed this pathogen using standard precautions when it is sensitive and in contact precautions when resistant.
Can you let you how you manage patients with this pathogen in your hospital? Do you include this pathogen in your transmission based precautions guidelines?

Hi Cate,
Unless it is an MRAB, we manage with standard precautions even in ICU. Perhaps you might ask the Intensivist his reasons for isolating? Often they just see Acinetobacter baumanii and isolate without realising it’s not multiresistant? (Apologies if you’ve already done that).

Good morning Cate and Rita,
It would be best to discuss with the ID Team the reason for requesting isolation due to the nature of Acinetobacter and its ability to become resistant quickly. The person might have been treated with broad spectrum antimicrobials adding to the risk.
Acinetobacter has been associated with many outbreaks in ICUs across the world and is very hard to eradicate once in a unit.Kind regards

Hi Cate,
we only isolate and initiate contact precautions if the Acinetobacter is multi drug resistant, maybe question the ID physician as he may have another reason for isolation?
Would be interested to know their response. Good luckJayne
