Acinetobacter: Acinetobacter is a "bad actor" -- it's a germ that can be tough to kill. That probably means you need an ID doctor if you have real symptoms. There are some good medicines out there to kill this off - but most of them are IV (carbapenems).This germ often has associations with hospitals / health care institutions so I wonder "how" you might have got it? Hope you can get some good treatment there.
