Co-isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii complex in polymicrobial infections: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background. Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) infections are commonly polymicrobial. Examining which pathogens are most commonly co-isolated with ABC is an important first step for assessing disease potential due to pathogen-pathogen interactions. Methods. Based on a systematic search of PubMed, Scopus and CENTRAL, we estimated percent proportions of co-isolates in polymicrobial pulmonary and bloodstream ABC infections using random-effects meta-analysis.

Results

Twenty-eight eligible studies were analysed reporting 575 polymicrobial bloodstream and 290 polymicrobial pulmonary infections. Common co-isolates in pulmonary infections were P. aeruginosa (36%, 95% CI 24-49%, I² 71%), S. aureus (28%, 95% CI 19-38%, I² 44%) and
