© 2008 Japan Pediatric Society Acinetobacter calcoaceticus – baumannii complex is a non-motile, aerobic, Gram-negative coccobacillus that causes pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, urinary tract infection and surgical-site infections. It has become an important opportunistic pathogen due to its persistence in the hospital environment and its multidrugresistant (MDR) patterns, presenting a therapeutic challenge. 1
