Differential development of antibiotic resistance and virulence between Acinetobacter species

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT The two species that account for most cases of Acinetobacter -associated bacteremia in the United Kingdom are Acinetobacter lwoffii , often a commensal but also an emerging pathogen, and Acinetobacter baumannii , a well-known antibiotic-resistant species. While these species both cause similar types of human infection and occupy the same niche, A. lwoffii (unlike A. baumannii ) has thus far remained...
