ACINETOBACTER BEIJERINCKII
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Acinetobacter |
| Species: | Acinetobacter beijerinckii |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative,strictly aerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive,non-motile coccobacilli, capable of growth in mineral media with acetate as the sole carbon source and ammonia as the sole source of nitrogen but incapable of dissimilative denitrification. |
| Synonyms: | |
| Source: | The strains studied were isolated from human (sputum,peritoneal dialysis fluid, gall, throat swab, perineal swab,faeces) and equine (airways) clinical specimens, from a hospital environment and staff (skin), and soil and water.The type strainwas isolated in 1980 from the wound of a patient at the hospital in Malmö, Sweden (Tjernberg & Ursing, 1989). |
