Recent data from the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) show a large increase of +57% in Acinetobacter species bloodstream infections in the European Union and European Economic Area in the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) compared with 2018–2019. Most were resistant to carbapenems, from intensive care units, and in countries with ≥ 50% carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. in 2018–2019. This highlights the requirement for reinforced Acinetobacter preparedness and infection prevention and control in Europe.
