Nosocomial bacteremia due to an as yet unclassified acinetobacter genomic species 17-like strain

Jesús Rodriguez-Baño et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2006 Apr.

Abstract

We describe a case of bacteremia due to an as yet unclassified Acinetobacter genomic species 17-like strain. The recognition of this microorganism as non-Acinetobacter baumannii may have important epidemiological implications, as it relieves the hospital of the implementation of barrier precautions for patients infected or colonized as may be necessary with a multiresistant A. baumannii epidemic.
