[Identification and determination of sensitivity to antibiotics of 31 clinical strains of Acinetobacter other than A. baumannii].
Precise identification and determination of MICs of clinical isolates of Acinetobacter identified to other species than the hospital species A. baumannii were carried out. On 260 Acinetobacter strains isolated in an hospital over a 6 months period, 31 strains (12 p. cent) were identified to species other than A. baumannii. Among these 31 strains, A. Iwoffii sensu stricto (16 strains) and A. haemolyticus (6 strains) were mostly recovered. Eight glucose oxidizing strains were identified to A. haemolyticus (6 strains), Acinetobacter genospecies 3 (2 strains), and A. Iwoffii sensu stricto (1 strain). Antibiotic susceptibilities of these strains were greater than those commonly observed with A. baumannii strains.
