Abstract
Hospital-acquired contagions are on the increase and are a substantial cause of clinical and financial burden for healthcare systems. While contagion control plays a major role in curtailing the spread of outbreak organisms, it is not always effective. One organism of particular concern is Acinetobacter baumannii, due to both its persistence in the hospital setting and its ability to acquire antibiotic resistance.
