non-motile gram-negative bacteria that causes severe infection among hospitalized patients. [3] It has been gaining resistance against various antibiotics by three mechanisms: deferent β-lactamases, efflux pumps and membrane permeability, and changing the sequence of penicillin-binding proteins. [4] Producing biofilm on the abiotic surfaces is another essential virulence factor, particularly for infections following implant placements, which concerns orthopedic surgeons. [5] Current treatment options include potent antibiotics such as colistin, tigecycline, and meropenem, which are widely accepted as a last resort.
