Abstract

SUMMARY. The development of a strategy to prevent nosocomial infections is closely linked to understanding the causes and mechanisms of their spread. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine, as well as worldwide, the risks of such infections have significantly increased. All medical facilities, especially COVID-19 treatment centers, are hotspots for the transmission of ESKAPE pathogens. The article provides information about co-infections and secondary infections in COVID-19 patients caused by Acinetobacter baumannii. A. baumannii ranks highest among the agents responsible for nosocomial infections in COVID-19 patients. The disease has a severe clinical course and high mortality due to the significant resistance of these microorganisms to most antibiotics. The main reason for this is the alteration of A. baumannii properties due to the inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents and the creation of conditions for the selection of poli- and pandrug-resistant microorganisms in healthcare settings, including interspecies antibiotic resistance genes transfer. This is particularly relevant for airborne and aerosol transmission, as almost all hospitalized patients with reduced oxygen saturation and suspected COVID-19 infection require hospitalization and oxygen therapy. The development of A. baumannii infection leads to prolonged hospital stays, increased mortality, financial losses, and negatively impacts the psychological well-being of patients. To successfully avoid such situations, it is essential to adhere to strict principles of infection control. To ensure the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and prophylactic measures, an Agile transformation of healthcare service delivery systems is necessary by increasing the adaptability and resilience of resource provisioning processes in the face of pandemics and wartime conflicts.
