To analyze the species distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) isolates from a Grade A tertiary hospital in Beijing (2017-2024), providing evidence for clinical microbiological identification and antimicrobial therapy.
ABC isolates were collected from the hospital’s antimicrobial resistance surveillance network. Species identification was performed by mass sectrometry and susceptibility testing was analyzed using WHONET 5.6. Statistical comparisons of resistance rates were performed with SPSS 26.0 (chi-square test).
Among 2 752 non-repetitive ABC isolates,Acinetobacter baumannii (ABA) accounted for 91.75%, followed by Acinetobacter pittii (APT, 6.90%) and Acinetobacter nosocomialis (ANO, 1.31%). Sputum and urine were the predominant specimen types, with ABA and APT frequently isolated from bloodstream infections. The resistance profile varied statistically significantly defferences across the bacterial species for all 12 common antimicrobials (all P<0.05). Among these, ABA demonstrated the highest resistance rates, ANO showed an intermediate profile, and APT was the most susceptible. Specifically, ABA exhibited resistance rates exceeding 80% to β-lactam antibiotics, including piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, imipenem and meropenem. In contrast, ANO showed resistance rates of 30%-50%, and APT only 10%-30% to the same agents. Resistance profiles between ABA and ANO differed statistically significantly except for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and minocycline (all P>0.05). The single Acinetobacter calcoaceticus isolate was only resistant to doxycycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, while remaining susceptible to all other β-lactam and fluoroquinolone agents tested.
ABC species exhibit distinct clinical distributions and resistance patterns, emphasizing the need for accurate species identification and ongoing resistance surveillance to guide appropriate empirical therapy.
