Which antibiotic is used for Acinetobacter baumannii coverage?

  1. Aminoglycosides

  2. Doxycycline

  3. Carbapenems (except ertapenem)

  4. Cefepime

The correct answer is: Carbapenems (except ertapenem)

Carbapenems (except ertapenem) are the most effective antibiotics for treating Acinetobacter baumannii infections. Aminoglycosides, doxycycline, and cefepime are not as effective against this specific bacterium and may not fully cover it. It is important to select the most appropriate antibiotic to ensure successful treatment and to prevent the further spread of drug-resistant bacteria.
