You are a nurse investigating an outbreak of
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
(CRAB), an opportunistic pathogen primarily
associated with hospital-acquired infections. You
identify A. baumannii on a suction catheter used to
support effective breathing for a patient. What
structure of A. baumannii contributed to the presence
of the bacteria on the catheter leading to infections?
Fimbriae
Ribosome
O Lipopolysaccharide
Biofilm
O Peptidoglycan
