Popis: Although Acinetobacter is usually a species of low virulence, it is becoming increasingly more important as a cause of hospital outbreaks, particularly on intensive care units. Antibiotic resistance can develop rapidly. This organism has not been reported to cause skin abscesses previously. We describe a case of a neonate who developed an Acinetobacter abscess on our neonatal intensive care unit.
