title: Concerning the sensitivity of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus.
abstract: The strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, var. anitratus (A. c. a.) were isolated in the nosocomial environment as an opportune pathogen. The therapy of choice may be determined after in vitro tests. Our results show following therapeutical possibilities: beta-lactam antibiotics--cephalosporins of IIIrd generation (cefotaxime), also combinations of antimicrobials have shown good results: amoxycillin or ticarcillin with clavulanic acid. Best synergistic effect was found in combination ticarcillin-amikacin.
