Acinetobacter are gram negative coccobacilli and ubiquitous in nature 1 . Quiet frequently they are recovered from inpatients who are hospitalized for prolonged illness and often multiple times. Although originally considered to be a low grade opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter species has emerged to be one of the common nosocomial pathogen. These isolates are often MDR 1 . It still remains a physician’s dilemma whether to treat or not such isolates, considering them pathological or commmensals. In one of our case it was isolated as a commensal and the patient did not require any antibiotic. On the hand the second case succumbed just after we started the susceptible antibiotic.
