| Abstract |
Over recent years, the incidence of infection caused by antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (a conditional pathogenic bacterium) has showed an increasing trend in such hospital departments as ICUs. Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii have drawn much attention from the medical professionals because it is difficult to manage such infections, and because the mortality related to such infections is high. To date, no cure of gouty arthritis and septic arthritis meanwhile complicated by antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii infection has been reported. We cured such a patient of intractable knee infection caused by A. baumannii resistant to all conventional antibiotics including imipenem by taking comprehensive measures including surgery, and infection did not recur during the 14-month follow-up. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 March 2019.
All research outputs
#3,113,074
of 23,815,455 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
#64
of 1,215 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,621
of 94,500 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,815,455 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,215 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 94,500 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
