Sažetak
Among the „ESKAPE“ group of serious pathogens Acinetobacter baumannii is under a great concern worldwide. This microorganism has become a leading nosocomial pathogen of the 21th century, and numerous studies are focused on the epidemiology, resistance and control measures of this pathogen in the hospital setting. The epidemiology and molecular basis of resistance of clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in Croatia over the last two decades has changed significantly in most health institutions, with a high percentage of resistance to carbapenems, quinolones and aminoglycosides, and the presence of multi-resistant isolates. In this review, emphasis was placed on the results of research on epidemiology and resistance of clinical isolates from Croatia.
