Acinetobacter

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000
Members of the genus Acinetobacter are oxidase negative, aerobic Gram-negative coccobacilli, which have evolved taxonomically from former strains of the Mima-Herrelia group. Their natural habitat is human skin and mucous membranes, water, soil, vegetation, and sewage.

Acinetobacter

Infection Control, 1983
Found in the family Neisseriaceae, the genus Acinetobacter is large and contains many species formerly classified as Mima, Herellea, Moraxella, Bacterium, Achromobacter, and even Pseudomonas. Currently, onlyAcinetobacter calcoaceticusis recognized inBergey's Manual. The phenotypic variability of this species,A.

Acinetobacter spp. in food and drinking water - A review.

Food microbiology, 2021
Acinetobacter spp. has emerged as a pathogen of major public health concern due to their increased resistance to antibiotics and their association with a wide range of nosocomial infections, community-acquired infections and war and natural disaster ...

Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter spp.

2017
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterial pathogen increasingly identified in the clinical microbiology laboratory as a cause of infection in humans. Upon microscopic examination, A. baumannii appears as a Gram-negative coccobacillus, and it produces clear colonies when grown on MacConkey agar, indicating its inability to ferment lactose.

Acinetobacterin Denmark: II. Molecular studies of theAcinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumanniicomplex

APMIS, 1993
The Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex consists of four closely related "genospecies" or DNA groups: DNA group 1 (A. calcoaceticus), DNA group 2 (A. baumannii), DNA 3, and Tjernberg & Ursing's DNA group 13. Strains in this complex are so similar phenotypically that it is often impossible to identify them to the DNA group level ...

Acinetobacter

Acinetobacter is a complex genus, comprising species recognized as opportunistic pathogens for patients with risk factors. Acinetobacter spp. have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infections throughout the world in the last few decades. Although Acinetobacter spp.

Acinetobacter bacteriocin typing

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1986
A technique for typing Acinetobacter sp. by bacteriocin production has been developed. One hundred and seventy-six cultures from patients in outbreaks, in the community and environmental sources were identified, tested for sensitivity to gentamicin and bacteriocin typed; 154 were A. anitratus and the remainder A.lwoffi.

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus–Acinetobacter baumannii complex with the proposal of Acinetobacter pittii sp. nov. (formerly Acinetobacter genomic species 3) and Acinetobacter nosocomialis sp. nov. (formerly Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU)

Research in Microbiology, 2011
Acinetobacter genomic species (gen. sp.) 3 and gen. sp. 13TU are increasingly recognized as clinically important taxa within the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) complex. To define the taxonomic position of these genomic species, we investigated 80 strains representing the known diversity of the ACB complex.
