What Causes Acetobacter Infection?

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 dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question.
Its acenetobactor not acetobactor. It is kind of pseudomonas type of bacteria with few difference in sensitivity pattern. It is a bacteria which cause mostly a hospital acquired infection and less common other type of infection. And catheterised patient many a times got this type of infection.
It is contagious to other patient so it need 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.
