Radiation sensitivities of Acinetobacter strains isolated from clinical sources.
For twelve clinical strains genetically grouped together with Acnetinobacter radioresistens FO-1T, the radiation sensitivity was measured. Their D10 values in gamma-ray irradiation under N2-equilibrium were 0.24 to 0.93 kGy and about 1/10 to 1/3 of that of the radiation-resistant strain FO-1. The results showed that the genospecies A. radioresistens contained some radiation-sensitive strains.
