Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for 28-day mortality. <b>Results:</b> Of 273 episodes of <i>Acinetobacter</i> species bacteremia, 224 (82.1%) were ABB and 49 (17.9%) were NBAB.

The primary sites of infection in NBAB cases were the intra-abdomen, urinary tract, intravascular catheters, and lungs. While only 4.0% of <i>A. baumannii</i> isolates were susceptible to carbapenem, 87.8% of non-<i>baumannii Acinetobacter</i> isolates were susceptible. Multivariate analysis revealed that low carbapenem resistance was independently associated with NBAB. Additionally, a higher Pitt bacteremia score, septic shock, continuous renal replacement therapy, inappropriate empirical antibiotic therapy, and thrombocytopenia were independent risk factors for the 28-day mortality in patients with ABB. <b>Conclusions:</b> Although less common than ABB, NBAB cases are increasing and exhibit lower carbapenem resistance. Rapid MALDI-TOF MS identification enables timely and appropriate antibiotic treatment. The key factors driving the 28-day mortality include illness severity, septic shock, renal replacement therapy, inappropriate antibiotics, and thrombocytopenia, highlighting the need for early risk assessments and tailored management.
