Dear Editor, Acinetobacter baumannii is a cause of healthcare-associated infections and one of the most important pathogens found in intensive care units (ICUs). The recent dramatic spread of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii complex (CRAB) in Korea has raised substantial concern in medical practice owing to the lack of adequate therapeutic options [1, 2]. It is well-known that the selective pressure of antibiotics contributes to emergence of new resistant strains [3]. However, there is no sufficient evidence for the association between carbapenem administration and emergence of imipenem-resistant A
