    Abstract According to WHO health profile, Iran has better situation in controlling some infection disease like leprosy, dengue fever, tularemia and hepatitis B than United States, even though Iran is in a more dangerous area than the USA. Achieving optimum control for infectious disease in the Middle East requires huge financial costs, equipment and a great time. Some of Iran’s actions to control infectious diseases include: special attention of the Iran government to the health issue, training and developing human resources, membership and close cooperation with international organizations like WHO, detecting and monitoring emerging diseases before their arrival and distribution in Iran, expanding and updating national immunization and vaccination program since 1992, national project implementation titled “Health system development plan”, supplying and manufacturing most of drugs required in Iran by the Iranian companies as a strategic planning, great coordination between different departments of the MOHME and other relevant institutions to Iran Army and Ministry of Intelligence to prevent the emergence of bioterrorism, and etc. We believe that Iran has obtained an acceptable score in the control of infectious diseases; but it still has very big challenges to reach the ideal level.

    Abstract Purpose: Nosocomial infections caused by multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii have emerged as a serious problem in healthcare settings worldwide.
    Methodology: A total of 100 A. baumannii clinical isolates from immunocompromised patients hospitalized in ICUs in Iran were investigated for antimicrobial susceptibility and the presence of carbapenemase and antiseptic resistance genes.
    Results: All isolates were resistant to one or more antibiotics, with the most frequent resistance found against ciprofloxacin and imipenem (100 %) and piperacillin (99 %). The MICs of biocides were determined by the agar dilution method. No apparent resistance to biocides was seen among the 100 A. baumannii isolates. All isolates were effectively inhibited by the user's defined concentrations of cetrimide, benzalkonium chloride and glutardaldehyde. The intrinsic β-lactamase gene, blaOXA-51-like, was detected in all A. baumannii isolates. Coexistence of blaOXA-51 andblaOXA-23 was encountered in 89 % of isolates. However, genes blaOXA-58, blaSIM and blaIMP were not detected in any isolates. While A. baumannii isolates were sensitive to biocides, they carried qac genes with the qacEΔ1 gene being the most common, at a frequency of 91 %.
    Conclusion: Our study revealed the high frequency of multidrug- and carbapenem-resistant isolates of A. baumannii in ICU patients, with a high prevalence of the genes blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-51. However, no apparent biocide resistance was seen in A. baumannii isolates. It appears that appropriate surveillance and control measures are essential to prevent the emergence and transmission of MDR A. baumannii in Iran.
