Hello, acinetobacter is usually seen with people with long hospital stay , who has under gone lot of procedures and several antibiotics. Since you havnt given any history, is that the history with your child? when interpriting acinitobactor culture positive report history , symptoms and signs everything should be taken into consideration to determine whether isolation is just colonization or pathogenic.
An oral antibiotic who is sensitive is cotrimoxazole. Other oral antibiotic who is sensitive is norfloxacin. But that cant be given for a child. s
Anyway how does.the child get that infection is also probed.hope this helps . thank you
