The major categories of the AB clinical strains collected were extracted primarily from patients’ respiratory tract specimens, the ICU wards and patients over 65 years old, accounting for 76.98%, 67.98% and 63.72%, respectively. The incidence of CR-AB, MDR-AB and XDR-AB based on AMS and IPCP measures ranged from 70.04% to 58.42% (P< 0.0001), 64.26% to 52.16% (P< 0.0001) and 2.27% to 0.60% (P=0.0167), respectively. The DDD of total antibiotics administered per 1000 patient days (PD) decreased significantly from 51.25± 4.22 to 40.92± 2.48 (P< 0.0001), and ABHG consumption per 1000 PD increased significantly from 5.25± 0.98 to 13.51± 5.12 (P< 0.0001). We found a statistically significant positive correlation between the DDD of antibiotic consumption and the incidence of CR-AB, MDR-AB and XDR-AB (r=0.9755 and P< 0.0001, r=0.9571 and P=0.0002, r=0.9230 and p=0.0011, respectively). In addition, a statistically negative correlation was found between ABHG consumption and the incidence of CR-AB, MDR-AB, and XDR-AB (r=− 0.9473 and P=0.0004, r=− 0.9123 and P=0.0016, r=− 0.9138 and P=0.0015, respectively).Conclusion: Comprehensive AMS and IPCP intervention measures can successfully achieve a sustained amelioration in the resistance and transmission of CR-AB, MDR-AB and XDR-AB, which are regarding potential applicability to other hospitals.Keywords: Acinetobacter baumannii, antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention and control programmes
