Identification of Acinetobacter spp. to the DNA group level by phenotypic techniques is
problematic, and there is a need for an alternative identification method for routine use. The …

We have studied the taxonomic position of a phenetically unique group of eight strains of the
genus Acinetobacter which were isolated from soil and water samples collected in protected …

The taxonomic status of two recently described phenetically distinctive groups within the
genus Acinetobacter, designated phenon 1 and phenon 2, was investigated further. The …

The availability of a strain of Acinetobacter competent for transformation has made it
possible to demonstrate the genetic relatedness of a large variety of gram-negative, oxidase …

Acinetobacter species isolates from a range of environments, including soil, were
investigated. We determined 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences for species identification …

Acinetobacter genomic species (gen. sp.) 3 and gen. sp. 13TU are increasingly recognized
as clinically important taxa within the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii …

A new species of Acinetobacter, Acinetobacter radioresistens, is proposed for three radiation-
resistant Acinetobacter strains which were isolated from samples of cotton and soil. This …

Gram-negative non-fermentative bacteria now recognised as belonging to the genus
Acinetobacter have been classified previously under a variety of different names, and it is …

Further to a previous study, the usefulness of amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis
(ARDRA) for identification of Acinetobacter genomic species (DNA groups) was tested. A set …

Partial nucleotide sequences of the gyrB genes (DNA gyrase B subunit genes) of 15
Acinetobacter strains, including the type and reference strains of genomic species 1 to 12 (A …
