Acinetobacter baumannii? It is a frequent etiologic agent of nosocomial infections, can colonize skin, tends to rapidly develop antibiotic resistance. I'm not sure if it , despite the similarity in names, cause acne. And I like the idea of becoming a bartender
PS. I wasn't an ER doc. I was an internist, but in private group practice at a 300 bed community hospital, so I spent plenty of time in the ER admitting patients since for most of my career we didn't have hospitalists. Previously, (in the stone age before ER residency trained docs), I did run the ER in a 700 bed NYC hospital for 2 years. I was also at various times chairman of QA, chairman of P&T, and chief of staff, as well as associate professor of medicine at SUNY medial school. So in general, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about (but apparently some believe my expertise is not as extensive as someone who does a 3 minute google search
)
