Dynamics of a Sporadic Nosocomial Acinetobacter calcoaceticus – Acinetobacter baumannii Complex Population [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Our objective was to improve current knowledge of sporadic (Spo) nosocomial Acinetobactercalcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (Acb) complex populations, and thus better understand the epidemiology of Spo and endemoepidemic (EE) strains. Between 1999 and

Drag reduction by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus BD4 [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987 The encapsulated bacterium Acinetobacter calcoaceticus BD4 at a density of 3.6 X 10(9) cells per ml reduced the friction of turbulent water in a narrow pipe by 55%. This drag reduction was due to the tightly bound polysaccharide capsules (0.4 mg per ml) of culture. Capsule-deficient mutants of BD4 failed to reduce drag.
