(futurity.org)
The interchangeability of the two species stems from their extreme degree of similarity and ability to form the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex. (wikipedia.org)
Yet, this method suffers from the inability to differentiate reliably between some closely related bacterial species including those of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) complex, namely A. baumannii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis. (muni.cz)

Therefore we aimed to determine risk factors for invasive Acinetobacter infections within an academic, pediatric setting as well as defining microbiologic characteristics of predominant strains. (biomedcentral.com)
Additionally, in recent years, some Acinetobacter strains have demonstrated a propensity to acquire resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, rendering treatment of such hospitalized patients extremely difficult [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Furthermore Acinetobacter strains were sequenced typed and preliminary characterized for motility and biofilm formation/maintenance. (biomedcentral.com)
In the most recent outbreak, 11 patients were infected with multi-resistant Acinetobacter strains and 26 patients were colonised. (microbiologyresearch.org)

The FilmArray panel detects 33 targets, including semi-quantitative detection of 15 common bacteria that can colonize people and produce illness in high concentrations, including Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex. (genomeweb.com)
Pediatric Acinetobacter infections are largely undefined in developed countries and clinical laboratory identification methods do not reliably differentiate between members of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex, leading to improper identification. (biomedcentral.com)

During May 2018‒December 2022, we reviewed transfusion-transmitted sepsis cases in the United States attributable to polymicrobial contaminated apheresis platelet components, including Acinetobacter calcoaceticus‒baumannii complex or Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolated from patients and components. (cdc.gov)
Cultures identified Acinetobacter calcoaceticus‒baumannii complex in 6 patients and 6 transfused platelets, S. saprophyticus in 4 patients and 4 transfused platelets. (cdc.gov)
Infections6
When Acinetobacter infections occur, they usually involve organ systems that have a high fluid content (eg, respiratory tract, CSF, peritoneal fluid, urinary tract). (medscape.com)
Similarly, Acinetobacter urinary tract infections are clinically indistinguishable from catheter-associated bacteremias caused by other aerobic gram-negative bacilli. (medscape.com)
Acinetobacter infections are uncommon and occur almost exclusively in hospitalized patients. (medscape.com)
Patients with impaired host defenses in intensive care unit (ICU) settings appear to be an at risk group of acquiring Acinetobacter infections [ 2 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
However, invasive Acinetobacter infections associated with large pediatric, academic institutes in developed countries are still poorly defined due to unclear risk factors. (biomedcentral.com)
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to retrospectively review cases of invasive Acinetobacter infections occurring within an academic, pediatric setting in a developed country from a clinical perspective to define additional risk factors. (biomedcentral.com)
Isolates3
Most Acinetobacter isolates recovered from hospitalized patients, particularly those recovered from respiratory secretions and urine, represent colonization rather than infection. (medscape.com)
