1. Hospital-Acquired Infections: Acinetobacter junii is known for its ability to survive on surfaces and medical equipment, making it a common cause of hospital-acquired infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions. These infections can manifest as pneumonia, bloodstream infections (bacteremia), urinary tract infections, and wound infections.

2. Antibiotic Resistance: Acinetobacter junii has demonstrated the ability to develop resistance to multiple antibiotics, including carbapenems and other last-resort antibiotics. This can complicate the treatment of infections caused by this bacterium, leading to prolonged illness, treatment failure, and increased healthcare costs.

3. Nosocomial Outbreaks: Acinetobacter junii has been implicated in nosocomial outbreaks in healthcare facilities, especially in intensive care units (ICUs) and among patients with prolonged hospital stays. Contaminated medical devices, ventilators, and other equipment can serve as reservoirs for the bacterium, facilitating its transmission among patients.

4. Community-Acquired Infections: While less common, Acinetobacter junii infections can also occur in community settings, particularly in individuals with underlying health conditions or those who have recently undergone medical procedures.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
