Acinetobacter Baumannii Named to the Growing List of Microorganisms Likely to Become Drug Resistant
 
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in a recently web-published article, named “Acinetobacter Baumanii” as one of the next likely pathogens to become drug resistant. This pathogen thought to come from the Middle East (specifically Iraq) is becoming a growing problem in US hospitals and surgical centers. 
 
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) also names Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Clostridium difficile as two others likely to join Tuberculosis (TB), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) that will “pose serious threats to domestic and global health”.
 
The article titled “Confronting the Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance” was published March 10, 2008 on the Biology News Network website (Biologynews.net). Here are pertinent quotes from the article:
“ … Extensively drug resistant tuberculosis and invasive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are just two recent examples that pose serious threats to domestic and global health…”
“…Efforts to improve diagnostics, particularly for the healthcare-associated bacterial infections that are already or are likely to become drug-resistant, such as Clostridium difficile, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter…”
“…With antimicrobial resistance, we face the perpetual challenge of maintaining a favorable balance between microbes and humans…”
All of these named microorganisms are known to be transmitted on contaminated hands and via environmental surfaces such as counter tops, telephones, bathroom fixtures, bedrails, doorknobs and patient care devices including medical, dental and surgical equipment. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved Opti-Cide 3 brand disinfectant (Micro-Scientific Industries, Inc. Rolling Meadows, IL USA) to quickly and safely kill these and other environmentally transmitted microbes when used as directed. Opti-Cide 3 Disinfectant Cleaner can be obtained from your local supplier.
