Abstract

The EpiData Center Department conducts routine surveillance of Acinetobacter species incidence and prevalence among all beneficiaries seeking care within the Military Health System (MHS). This report describes demographics, clinical characteristics, prescription practices, and antibiotic resistance patterns observed for Acinetobacter species infections in calendar year 2018. Overall, incidence rates of Acinetobacter species infections in the MHS beneficiary and DOD active duty populations are decreasing. The prevalence of drug-resistant Acinetobacter species remains low in the DOD with only 20 cases reported overall in 2018.
