Acinetobacter Baumannii

A forty nine year old woman has died from Acinetobacter baumannii that was resistant to every antibiotic available.
The New Orleans hospital tested the strain for susceptibility to every antibiotic that has previously been effective and it was resistant to them all. They also admitted that the bacteria was contracted there in the hospital.
The family was told there was nothing more they could do and the woman died.
Another patient on the same floor died from this strain also.
