able to survive at a wide range of temperature, pH, and moisture levels, either as free-living planktonic cells or as biofilms.64Moreover, it utilizes a variety of carbon and energy sources for survival. These attributes contribute toA. baumannii’spersistence and spread in the hospital setting...
baumannii, Acinetobacter haemolyticus, Acinetobacter johnsonii, and Acinetobacter junii and amended the description of A. calcoaceticus and A. lwoffii with evidence of DNA relatedness, biochemical tests, and nutrient requirements to delineate previously identified genospecies. The taxonomy of Acinetobacter has...
indicating a remarkable ability to acquire resistance genes.Acinetobacter baumanniiis resistant to all β-lactams with resistance being either intrinsic or acquired by transformation. The mechanisms of β-lactam resistance are complex, the most prevalent being enzymatic degradation by β-lactamases. In add...

Interest in Acinetobacter baumannii continues to rise. One of the main reasons is the emergence of multi-resistant strains, which cause sudden outbreaks of infection involving several patients in a ward and/or in different areas of the hospital [1, 2]. In clinical practice, Acinetobacter infection...

A. baumannii and A. calcoaceticus were isolated from the feces of children under five years of age presenting with acute diarrhea and showed toxic activity to cell cultures (Polanco and Manzi, 2008). The isolation of Acinetobacter haemolyticus from feces of infants younger than one year of age ...
Nowak and Kur (1996) determined a method for the differentiation of all Acinetobacter species known at the time of writing (Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter haemolyticus, Acinetobacter junii, Acinetobacter johnsonii and Acinetobacter lwofii). An MPCR assay that used primer...
