Abstract：Acinetobacter baumannii has the potent abilities of acquiring drug resistance and clonal propagation, and the mechanisms of resistance to multiple antibiotics are very complex. Multidrug-resistant and pandrug-resistant Acinetobacter bauman-nii are prevalent worldwide and in China Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most important pathogens that cause noso-comial infections, which has posed new challenges for the treatment of nosocomial infections. So it is of great importance to recognize the resistance mechanisms and formulate effective treatment strategies. This article gives an overview of the recent advances in the resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii and treatment strategies to combat Acinetobacter baumannii infections.
