Curr Protoc Microbiol. 2014 Nov 3:35:6G.1.1-6. doi: 10.1002/9780471729259.mc06g01s35.

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii has recently drawn great interest in the microbiology research community due to the increase in clinical antibiotic resistance of this organism, and persistence of this bacterial species in the hospital environment. This unit outlines protocols for the growth and maintenance of A. baumannii in the laboratory.

Keywords: Acinetobacter baumannii; glycerol stocks; laboratory growth; minimal medium; storage.
