Acinetobacter is a group of bacteria (germs) commonly found in the environment, like in soil and water. Infections caused by Acinetobacter rarely occur outside of healthcare settings. Germs in the Acinetobacter baumannii family account for most Acinetobacter infections in humans.

2023年11月8日 · Acinetobacter is a gram-negative coccobacillus that has emerged from an organism of questionable pathogenicity to an infectious agent of importance to hospitals worldwide [1].

Acinetobacter is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the wider class of Gammaproteobacteria. Acinetobacter species are oxidase-negative, exhibit twitching motility, [7] and occur in pairs under magnification. They are important soil organisms, where they contribute to the mineralization of, for example, aromatic compounds.

2023年8月8日 · Acinetobacter is a water-loving organism and has the propensity to colonize body organs that contain fluid. Thus, in hospitalized patients, Acinetobacter is often found in the peritoneal fluid, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), saliva, respiratory secretions and urinary tract.

2024年11月13日 · Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacterial species classified as gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria are widespread in the environment, living in soil and water. Acinetobacter bacteria often...

2020年1月27日 · Acinetobacter is a type of bacteria that can cause infections, most often in healthcare settings. It is antibiotic-resistant. Learn more in this article.

2024年11月22日 · Acinetobacter is a gram-negative coccobacillus that has emerged from an organism of questionable pathogenicity to an infectious agent of importance to hospitals worldwide [1].

Acinetobacter is an emerging pathogen of increasing significance. Over the last 3 decades, Acinetobacter infections have grown from a limited problem affecting disaster victims and tropical populations to a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide.

2023年9月7日 · Acinetobacter is a group of bacteria commonly found in soil and water and sometimes found on the skin of healthy people. There are many types or “species” of Acinetobacter that can cause human disease. The species Acinetobacter baumannii accounts for about 80% of reported infections.

2020年5月13日 · Acinetobacter species are gram-negative organisms that can cause suppurative infections in any organ system; these bacteria are often opportunists in patients who are hospitalized. Treatment is with multidrug therapies based on susceptibility testing.
