validation of partial rpob gene sequence analysis for the identification of clinically important and emerging acinetobacter species. | bacteria belonging to the genus acinetobacter are ubiquitous in soil and water. only a few species, including acinetobacter baumannii, and the unnamed acinetobacter genomic species (gen. sp.) 3 and 13tu, which together with the soil organism acinetobacter calcoaceticus are combined in the a. calcoaceticus-a. baumannii (acb) complex, have been recognized as important nosocomial infectious agents. the ecology, epidemiology and pathology of most species are not yet well established. lack of practic ... | 2009 | 19389786 |
