Bacteremia caused by Acinetobacter ursingii

J Clin Microbiol. 2003 Mar;41(3):1337-8. doi: 10.1128/JCM.41.3.1337-1338.2003.

Abstract

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.
