Acinetobacter spp. and the Clinical Environment
Indoor and Built Environment, 2006Infections associated with Acinetobacter spp. are an increasing problem in hospitals around the world, with many infections being multiply resistant to antibiotics. Acinetobacter spp. are particularly hardy and can survive on dry surfaces for long periods of time. They have also been cultured from the air on hospital wards.

Radiation resistance of acinetobacter SPP
Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 1995Abstract The radiation resistance of 78 different strains of Acinetobacter sp. 42 from clinical isolates and 36 from other sources were compared with 15 clinical isolates and 12 other strains from Denmark. None of the Canadian strains was as resistant as resistant-enhanced Danish strains. Four strains had D 10 values of 3.1–3.6 kGy. Irradiated and

Biodegradation of Carbazole by Newly Isolated Acinetobacter spp.
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011In this study, two bacterial isolates designated Alp6 and Alp7 were isolated from soil collected from dye industries and screened for their ability to degrade carbazole. Growing cells of the isolates Alp6 and Alp7 could degrade 99.9% and 98.5% of carbazole, respectively in 216 h.

Hospital infection with Acinetobacter spp.: an increasing problem
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1991During the last few years, among nosocomial pathogens, Acinetobacter spp. have given rise to an increasing number of nosocomial infections. Acinetobacter strains are widely distributed in nature; in hospitals, the human skin is the likely source for most outbreaks of hospital infections.

Importance of Acinetobacter spp.
2008An enormous number of bacterial species exist in nature and the human environment with important roles in natural chemical and biological cycles involved in the agricultural aspects of food and industrial activity. However, only a relatively limited number of microbes are recognized as important pathogens for humans and causes of clinical infections ...

Acinetobacter spp. and time-kill studies
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007Sir, Multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter spp. have become a worldwide threat for hospitalized patients in recent years. Two papers recently published in JAC referred to in vitro tests of combinations destined to kill carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter isolates.

Although many studies have been performed on carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, only a few studies have addressed carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. other than A. baumannii (non-baumannii Acinetobacter). Amongst 287 Acinetobacter spp. isolates from patients with bacteraemia in a South Korean hospital collected between 2003 and 2010,

Objectives Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. is increasing and is primarily associated with the expression of OXA-type β-lactamases. However, the role of intrinsic OXA-type β-lactamases in the carbapenem resistance of Acinetobacter spp. has not

Acinetobacter species are aerobic, glucose non-fermenting gram-negative rods, and ubiquitous in the environment. Acinetobacter spp. can survive for months on dry surfaces. Acinetobacter spp. have been grown from skin, pharynx, sputum, urine and feces. The most common Acinetobacter infection is pneumonia.

Acinetobacter spp., Saprophytic Organisms of Increasing Pathogenic Importance
Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1994Acinetobacter spp. are Gram-negative non-fermentative bacteria commonly present in soil and water as free-living saprophytes; they are isolated as commensals from skin, throat and various secretions of healthy people. There have been frequent changes in their taxonomy so that their pathogenic role in humans has been understood only recently ...
