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 …

Thirty-one strains of Acinetobacter species, including type strains of the 18 genomic species
and 13 clinical isolates, were compared by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis …

A total of 53 field and reference strains, including the type strains of the seven named
species (nomenspecies) and belonging to the 18 described genomic species (DNA groups) …

Members of the genus Acinetobacter are reported to be involved in hospital-acquired
infections with an increasing frequency. However, clinical laboratories still lack simple …

Different PCR-based DNA fingerprinting techniques were evaluated for typing 26 clinical
isolates belonging to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex. Seven isolates …

A new PCR‐based method that exploits differences in gyrB gene sequences was developed
to distinguish between Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter genomic sp. 13TU …

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, A. baumannii, Acinetobacter genomic species (gen. sp.) 3, and
Acinetobacter gen. sp. 13TU, which are included in the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii …

A numerical approach was used for identification of 198 Acinetobacter strains assigned to
DNA groups according to the classification of Tjernberg and Ursing (I. Tjernberg and J …

A collection of 130 Acinetobacter strains identified by DNA hybridization to 18 different
genomic species was used to assess the ability of the API 20NE system (bioMérieux …

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 …
