Whenever the bacterium Acinetobacter Baumannii is mentioned the antimicrobial agents resistance come directly into the mind. This bacteria have been widely distributed worldwide since it have the ability to maintain their living in any surrounding niches including the harsh ones.(Lin, 2014).
Being resistant made it a problematic pathogen that makes therapists unable to treat their patients because some of Acinetobacter Baumannii strains are extensively multidrug resistant(XDR) (Moubareck and Halat, 2020)
A. Baumannii is characterized as Gram negative coccobacilli has the ability to produce catalase but lacking oxidase and fail to ferment glucose.(Kamali et al., 2020)
A. Baumannii can cause wide range of infections comprising various body systems, of which respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and blood.(Nwadike, Ojide and Kalu, 2014)
