Abstract：Objective: To investigate resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii by bibliometric method. Methods: All literatures searched in PubMed, Embase and SCI database with the key words of Acinetobacter baumannii, drug resistance were collected. The amount of literatures, publication date, authors, languages, types of papers and antibiotic were analyzed. Results: A total of 2061 literature papers were searched from three databases. The amount of literatures increased year by year. Imipenem was the most studied antibiotic. The most researches on resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii focused on that of carbapenem drugs, which were clariifed from the perspective of genes or proteins. Resistance mechanisms were mainly studied in the ifeld of microbiology and anti-infection. Conclusion: Carbapenem resistance was always one focus of the drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii. The most prevalent mechanism of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii is enzymatic degradation for carbapenemases, namely OXA type and metallo-β-lactamases (MBL).
