Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Pneumonia and the Formation of Pneumatoceles

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2000
Pneumatoceles are cystic lesions of the lungs often seen in children with staphylococcal pneumonia and positive-pressure ventilation. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is an aerobic, short immobile gram-negative rod, or coccobacillus, which is an omnipresent saprophyte. The variant anitratus is the most clinically significant pathogen in this family, usually

Nosocomial bacteremia due to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus

Infection, 1982
In 1980, 13 patients with positive blood cultures for Acinetobacter calcoaceticus were detected in an 800 bed university medical center. Twelve of the 13 isolates were identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var. anitratus and one as var. lwoffi. In the same period there were 361 positive specimens of A. calcoaceticus.

Frequency of plasmids in strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1989
Plasmids were found in 75 out of 93 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The strains harboured up to 20 plasmids each, with two-thirds containing two or more. Most plasmids were smaller than 15 Md. Strains of A. Iwoffi contained more plasmids than A. anitratus.

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus infection following a dog bite

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1987
A frequent complication of dog bite wounds is bacterial infection. The choice of antibiotics is based upon the most likely organisms. Failure to achieve wound healing suggests that an uncommon organism(s) is present and should lead the clinician to culture the wound. A case of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus infection following a dog bite is described.

PRODUCTION OF PHOSPHOLIPASE C IN ACINETOBACTER CALCOACETICUS

Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section B Microbiology and Immunology, 1971
The production of phospholipase C (haemolysin) of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus in a chemically defined medium is described. A molecular weight of the enzyme of 25—35, 000, and an isoelectric point of 6.75 were estimated by gel‐filtration and isoelectric focusing experiments.

The survival of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus inoculated on fingertips and on formica

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1990
When inoculated on the fingers of three volunteers, strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var. anitratus survived better than strains of var. lwoffii; 60 min after an inoculum of 10(4) cfu/finger, washings yielded between 2.6 x 10(1) (for a sporadic strain of var. lwoffii) and 7.2 x 10(2) cfu/finger (for an epidemic strain of var. anitratus). All five

Inactivation of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus acetate kinase by diethylpyrocarbonate

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1988
Acetate kinase purified from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was inhibited by diethylpyrocarbonate with a second-order rate constant of 620 M-1.min-1 at pH 7.4 at 30 degrees C and showed a concomitant increase in absorbance at 240 nm due to the formation of N-carbethoxyhistidyl derivative.

Localization of hydrolytic enzymes in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 1986
AbstractThe localization of hydrolytic enzymes, phosphatase, esterase, lipase and palmitoyl‐CoA hydrolase was analysed in the cytosol, cytoplasmic membrane, periplasmic fraction, outer membrane and culture supernatant in dependence on the growth rate of the bacteria.The unspecific phosphatase was found to be a cytosolic enzyme.A lipase was the only ...

Extrazelluläre Lipase aus Acinetobacter calcoaceticus

Acta Biotechnologica, 1982
AbstractCell‐free growth liquor of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 69‐V contains an extracellular lipase. Its activity depends on growth phase and carbon source. During growth on acetate or succinate the activity ist low or zero, respectively. Growth on alkanes causes an increase in the extracellular lipase activity.

Meningitis due to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus variant anitratus

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1980
Introduction Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is a non fermentative aerobic Gram-negative bacillus which is widely dispersed in nature. Several outbreaks of nosocomial infection due to A. calcoaceticus have been reported, often in association with contamination of hospital equipment or the hands of personnel (Glew, Moellering & Kunz, 1977; Buxton, Anderson,
