| acinetobacter ursingii sp. nov. and acinetobacter schindleri sp. nov., isolated from human clinical specimens. | the taxonomic status of two recently described phenetically distinctive groups within the genus acinetobacter, designated phenon 1 and phenon 2, was investigated further. the study collection included 51 strains, mainly of clinical origin, from different european countries with properties of either phenon 1 (29 strains) or phenon 2 (22 strains). dna-dna hybridization studies and dna polymorphism analysis by aflp revealed that these phenons represented two new genomic species. furthermore, 16s rr ... | 2001 | 11594623 |
| 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. | 2003 | 12624081 |

| bacterial identification, clinical significance, and antimicrobial susceptibilities of acinetobacter ursingii and acinetobacter schindleri, two frequently misidentified opportunistic pathogens. | the species belonging to the acinetobacter genus are currently reported as opportunistic pathogens in hospitalized patients with underlying predispositions. however, except for the acinetobacter calcoaceticus-acinetobacter baumannii complex, the identification of other species is frequently unreliable, especially for acinetobacter ursingii and acinetobacter schindleri, newly described in 2001. thus, the clinical significance, phenotypic features, and antimicrobial susceptibilities of these two m ... | 2006 | 17050816 |
| acinetobacter septicus sp. nov. association with a nosocomial outbreak of bacteremia in a neonatal intensive care unit. | acinetobacter species other than acinetobacter baumannii have rarely been reported to be associated with nosocomial outbreaks of bloodstream infections. within a period of 1 week, seven acinetobacter-like isolates were recovered from peripheral blood and catheter specimens of five patients at a neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) in a tertiary hospital in turkey. all five patients had placement of central venous catheters and had received total parenteral nutrition before the onset of bacteremia ... | 2008 | 18160455 |

| first case of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography bacteraemia caused by acinetobacter ursingii in a patient with choledocholithiasis and cholangitis. | we describe what we believe to be the first case of biliary sepsis caused by acinetobacter ursingii. the patient was a healthy woman with no comorbidities who presented with choledocholithiasis and cholangitis. the performance of an endoscopic cholangiopancreatography was the trigger for a. ursingii bacteraemia. this report highlights the inadequacies of conventional phenotypic tests usually available in clinical microbiology laboratories for the identification of acinetobacter species. | 2008 | 18719191 |
| endemic and epidemic acinetobacter species in a university hospital: an 8-year survey. | the prevalence of the currently known acinetobacter species and related trends of antimicrobial resistance in a dutch university hospital were studied. between 1999 and 2006, acinetobacter isolates from clinical samples were collected prospectively. isolates were analyzed by amplified fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting. for species identification, a profile similarity cutoff level of 50% was used, and for strain identification, a cutoff level of 90% was used. susceptibility for antimicr ... | 2009 | 19794057 |
| outbreak of septicaemic cases caused by acinetobacter ursingii in a neonatal intensive care unit. | neonatal infections may be caused by various microorganisms, but as far as we are aware, acinetobacter ursingii has not yet been reported in connection with nosocomial infections of premature infants. during 2 months, 3 premature babies were treated with nosocomial infection caused by a. ursingii at the same ward, and on the basis of molecular typing results the same strain was responsible for all of these cases. traditional biochemical methods and automatic identification systems failed to iden ... | 2010 | 19931486 |
| blood stream infections caused by acinetobacter ursingii in an obstetrics ward. | the genus acinetobacter is an important causative pathogen of nosocomial infections in the healthcare setting. the objectives of this study were to determine the species of causative pathogens and the sources of acinetobacter blood stream infections that occurred in 2 immunocompetent pregnant women admitted to an obstetrics ward within a 2-month period. phenotypic identification of the two isolates from blood stream infections was inconsistent among the id test, the microscan walkaway and the vi ... | 2010 | 20969979 |
| diverse dna damage responses in acinetobacter include the capacity for dna damage-induced mutagenesis in the opportunistic pathogens acinetobacter baumannii and acinetobacter ursingii. | error-prone and error-free dna damage repair responses that are induced in most bacteria after exposure to various chemicals, antibiotics, or radiation sources were surveyed across the acinetobacter genus. the error prone sos mutagenesis response occurs when dna damage induces a cell's umudc- or dinp-encoded error-prone polymerases. the model acinetobacter baylyi strain adp1 possesses an unusual, regulatory umud allele (umudab) with an extended 5' region, and only incomplete fragments of umuc. d ... | 2011 | 22117008 |

| amie, a novel n-acylhomoserine lactone acylase belonging to the amidase family, from the activated-sludge isolate acinetobacter sp. strain ooi24. | many gram-negative bacteria use n-acyl-l-homoserine lactones (ahls) as quorum-sensing signal molecules. we have reported that acinetobacter strains isolated from activated sludge have ahl-degrading activity. in this study, we cloned the amie gene as an ahl-degradative gene from the genomic library of acinetobacter sp. strain ooi24. high-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that amie functions as an ahl acylase, which hydrolyzes the amide bond of ahl. amie showed a high level of de ... | 2014 | 25172868 |
| a retrospective study of the incidence, clinical characteristics, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteremic isolates of acinetobacter ursingii. | acinetobacter ursingii bacteremia is rarely reported. we investigated the incidence and clinical features of a. ursingii bacteremia, performance of the identification system, and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates. acinetobacter ursingii bacteremia patients were compared with a. baumannii bacteremia patients. | 2015 | 26423424 |
| severe community-acquired bloodstream infection with acinetobacter ursingii in person who injects drugs. | we report a community-acquired bloodstream infection with acinteobacter ursingii in an hiv-negative woman who injected drugs. the infection was successfully treated with meropenem. species identification was performed by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. improved identification of acinetobacter spp. by using this method will help identify clinical effects of this underdiagnosed pathogen. | 2016 | 26689082 |
