Gram-negative1
Acinetobacter nosocomialis is a gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from a patient at MetroHealth in Cleveland, Ohio. (wikipedia.org)
Isolates5
Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU isolates produced VIM-2 metallo-beta-lactamase, while imipenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates produced OXA-23 and/or OXA-51 beta-lactamase. (nih.gov)
The internal laboratory records of the microbiology department of the Giessen Veterinary Faculty (Institute for Hygiene and Infectious Diseases of Animals, Giessen, Germany) noted an increase in antimicrobial drug-resistant Acinetobacter isolates. (cdc.gov)
To assess the species and type diversity of these organisms, we investigated a set of isolates from Giessen and other veterinary clinics obtained during a 9-year period by a combination of genotypic methods and compared the isolates for their susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs. (cdc.gov)
Fifty-two isolates were identified as belonging to A. baumannii and 3 to A. pittii ( Acinetobacter gen. sp. (cdc.gov)
For species identification, isolates were compared with reference strains of all described Acinetobacter species included in the Leiden University Medical Center AFLP database (Leiden, the Netherlands). (cdc.gov)

To investigate the differences in antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance mechanisms against imipenem between Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU. (nih.gov)
The resistance rates of A. baumannii to most antimicrobial agents were higher than those of other Acinetobacter species, while the resistance rate to imipenem was the highest in Acinetobacter genomic species 13TU. (nih.gov)

Genus3
Acinetobacter nosocomialis is a gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from a patient at MetroHealth in Cleveland, Ohio. (wikipedia.org)
In 1911, a Dutch microbiologist by the name of Martinus Willem Beigerinck discovered an aerobic, gram-negative, non-fermentative bacterium we now know to be of the genus Acinetobacter. (medscape.com)
Within the genus Acinetobacter, A. baumannii is clinically the most relevant species, frequently involved in hospital outbreaks and affecting critically ill humans ( 1 , 2 ). (cdc.gov)
