I was shadowing in an orthopedic ward this Summer and one of the patients was infected with a multiple drug resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii. I have had an interest in this bacteria ever since then, so I wanted to evaluate this article.

The article is relevant, up-to-date, and contains plentiful information about the topic. This topic does not cover historically underrepresented populations.

The article is well-written, organized, and free from grammatical errors.

Images and Media:

There are only two images. Both images are well captioned and adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations. They are not laid out in a visually appealing way but they do add some value to the article.

Talk Page Discussion:

There is only one conversation on the talk page and it is in reference to the removal of a passage about LPS. The issue with the LPS passage is that it cites an article that may not be reliable. It is part of WikiProject Medicine and WikiProject Microbiology.
