Acinetobacterlwoffii - Emerging pathogen causing liver abscess: A Case Report
Acinetobacterlwoffii - Emerging pathogen causing liver abscess
Keywords:
Acinetobacterlwoffii, Carbapenems, Liver AbscessAbstract
Acinetobacterlwoffii is a gram negative aerobic non-fermenter bacilli. It is now an important emerging pathogen responsible after Acinetobacterbaumannii for causing nosocomial infections. It also affects immunosuppressed individuals with co-morbidities. Here we report a rare case of community acquired pyogenic liver abscess caused by Acinetobacterlwoffi.
