Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging nosocomial, opportunistic pathogen with growing clinical significance. Acinetobacter baumannii has an exceptional ability to rapidly develop drug resistance and to adhere to abiotic surfaces, including medical equipment, significantly promoting bacterial spread and also limiting our ability to control A. baumannii infections. Consequently, A. baumannii is frequently responsible for ventilator-associated pneumonia in clinical settings. In order to develop an effective treatment strategy, understanding host-pathogen interactions during A. baumannii infection is crucial. Various A. baumannii virulence factors have been identified as targets of host innate pattern-recognition receptors, which leads to activation of downstream inflammasomes to develop inflammatory responses, and the recruitment of innate immune effectors against A. baumannii infection. To counteract host immune attack, A. baumannii regulates its expression of different virulence factors. This review summarizes the significance of mechanisms of host-bacteria interaction, as well as different bacteria and host defense mechanisms during A. baumannii infection.
