After infection with Acinetobacter baumannii, the survival time of patients is generally not affected after active treatment. However, the specific survival time of the patient is related to the patient’s physical condition, the type of pathogen and the severity of the disease and other factors, and there are individual differences. A. baumannii infection is mainly caused by the abuse of antibiotics, mainly causing respiratory tract infections, but also can cause bacteremia, urinary tract infections, secondary meningitis, surgical site infections and so on. A. baumannii is a conditionally pathogenic bacterium, and healthy people with strong immunity seldom develop the disease even after infection, not to mention the impact on survival time. However, for immunocompromised or severely ill patients, or patients infected with this bacterium after prolonged use of large amounts of antibiotics, the difficulty of treatment and survival time will be affected to varying degrees. A. baumannii infection is mainly transmitted through contact, such as the lack of timely hand disinfection when caring for critically ill patients, or the lack of strict cleaning and disinfection when performing operations such as suctioning. When caring for critically ill patients, hands must be washed and disinfected in a timely manner, and all kinds of utensils used by patients need to be disinfected in a timely manner to avoid infection. The key to the survival of A. baumannii infection lies in whether or not to follow the doctor’s advice to carry out timely and standardized treatment, and the patient should maintain a positive and optimistic mindset, and establish confidence in the cure.
