The U.S. military has noted an increase in the number of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex (ABC) infections among military personnel injured while deployed to Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom [OIF]) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom [OEF]) (1). ABC is noted for highly resistant isolates that limit therapeutic options (10). In this study, we determined the susceptibilities of a collection of ABC isolates, recovered primarily from U.S. military personnel injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, to several antimicrobial agents of potential interest.

Its about the resistance of the organism, NOT the field hospitals sterile technique as the military-bashing “news” article pretends.
