Introduction: Acinetobacter species are Gram Negative coccobacilli causing various nosocomial infections.The spread of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter strains among hospitalized patients became an increasing cause of concern.Aims:1. To isolate Acinetobacter species from pus samples received from various wards...
For most environmental species, the optimum growth temperature is 33–35 °C. Acinetobacter kyonggiensis, which has an optimum growth temperature of 28 °C, is exceptional. The optimum growth temperature for clinical isolates is generally 37 °C. Acinetobacters normally form smooth, pale yell...
Acinetobacter baumanniicomplex has been shown to cause ventilator-associated pneumonia and bloodstream infections.Acinetobacter lwoffiiis a known skin colonizer but has been found to cause bacteremiain hospitalized patients.Acinetobacterare coccobacilli and can resembleNeisseriaspecies by Gram stain. Growth on...
Acinetobacter species can be transmitted to patients because of their persistence on environmental surfaces and because of colonization of the hands of healthcare workers. [1] When Acinetobacter infections occur, they usually involve organ systems that have a high fluid content (eg, respiratory tract...
Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain 1NM-4(T) should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter, for which the name Acinetobacter guangdongensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1NM-4(T) ( = GIMCC 1.656(T) = CCTCC AB 2014199...
On the basis of the current findings, it is concluded that the six strains represent a novel species, for which the name Acinetobacter kookii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 11-0202(T) (=KCTC 32033(T)=JCM 18512(T)). 展开 关键词:...
or Moraxella on Gram stain. Common in the environment (water, soil) and hospitals (catheters, lotions, ventilation equipment) Grows on standard agar media. Oxidase negative A. baumannii is the major species of Acinetobacter. Other species include A. calcoaceticus, A. lwoffi, A. junii, A....
The biofilm formation rate of AB has been reported to range from 80 to 91%, which is significantly higher than that of other species (5–24%) [5]. Carbapenems are currently utilized as β-lactam antibiotics with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and are considered the last line of ...
GenusAcinetobacteris a group of gram-negative, non-fermentative, aerobic and non-motile rods. According to the older nomenclature,Acinetobacterwas represented by a single species,Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, included in theNeisseriaceaefamily. Delineation of existing strains was difficult because of the la...
On the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic comparisons with other members of the genus Acinetobacter, strain A648(T) is found to be a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter, for which the name Acinetobacter indicus sp. nov. is proposed....
