Acinetobacter soli as a cause of bloodstream infection in a neonatal intensive care unit

J Clin Microbiol. 2011 Jun;49(6):2283-5. doi: 10.1128/JCM.00326-11. Epub 2011 Apr 27.

Abstract

Acinetobacter soli is a new bacterial species described from forest soil. Five cases of bloodstream infection caused by A. soli clonal isolates are reported here for the first time. The patients were neonates admitted to an intensive care unit. This is a new neonatal pathogen with the potential to cause outbreaks.
