title: Acinetobacter parvus bacteraemia community-acquired.
abstract: Clinicians are generally familiar with Acinetobacter baumannii as an aetiological agent of serious nosocomial infections in intensive care units. Other Acinetobacter species can also be responsible for life-threatening sepsis. Here, we report about a bacteraemia caused by Acinetobacter parvus, community-acquired, identified with a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry system.
