title: Acinetobacter soli as a cause of bloodstream infection in a neonatal intensive care unit.
abstract: Acinetobacter soli is a new bacterial species described from forest soil. Five cases of bloodstream infection caused by A. soli clonal isolates are reported here for the first time. The patients were neonates admitted to an intensive care unit. This is a new neonatal pathogen with the potential to cause outbreaks.
