My father-in-law went to the hospital last night and has been put into isolation.  They said something about acetobacter and I am not familiar with this.  He also has a terrible kidney infection which is common for those with a catheter.  Can you tell me about the acetobacter infection?
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. Its Acinetobacter not Acinetobacter. It is kind of pseudocodes type of bacteria with few difference in sensitivity pattern. It is a bacterium which cause mostly a hospital acquired infection and less common other type of infection. And catheterized patient many a time got this type of infection. It is contagious to other patient, so it needs to be put in isolation area. But it is already diagnosed and reported, so please follow complete treatment course. You need to go through sensitivity report and treat that infection according to your physicians guidelines. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.
