Bacteremia caused by Acinetobacter ursingii.
Acinetobacter ursingii has not been reported in infectious processes apart from its recent description as a new species. A bacteremia caused by A. ursingii in a patient with a pulmonary adenocarcinoma confirms that this microorganism is an opportunistic human pathogen. The isolate was susceptible to imipenem, aminoglycosides, rifampin, and fluoroquinolones.
