Objective   The study aims to determine the prevalence of multidrug-resistant  A. baumannii  in Aseer Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Methods   This study evaluated the antibiotic susceptibility of ninety-four ( n  = 94) clinical isolates of  A. baumannii . The isolates were collected from the south region of Saudi Arabia, and notably Aseer Region, during the period from 15 October 2014 to 15 January 2015. The isolates were tentatively identified as  A. baumannii  by routine bench tests and were confirmed by using VITEK® 2 Compact. The latest instrument was used to identify antibiotic susceptibility of these isolates.Results   Antibiotic susceptibility in this study showed that 69% of these isolates were multidrug-resistant strains. Moreover, they were highly resistant to carbapenem drugs. Several strains of these isolates were found to be extremely resistant to test antibiotics and were only sensitive to one or two of them.Conclusion   High rate of multidrug-resistant  A. baumannii  bacteraemia has emerged in the south region of Saudi Arabia as an important health problem. Therefore, it is considered as a new threat in hospitals, which requires a tremendous effort to stop its escalation and spread.
