'''''Acinetobacter''''' is a [[genus]] of [[Gramgram-negative]] bacteria belonging to the wider class of [[Gammaproteobacteria]]. ''Acinetobacter'' species are [[Oxidase test|oxidase-negative]], exhibit [[twitching motility]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bitrian|first1=Mariana|last2=González|first2=Rodrigo H.|last3=Paris|first3=Gaston|last4=Hellingwerf|first4=Klaas J.|last5=Nudel|first5=Clara B.|s2cid=42820743|date=2013-09-01|title=Blue-light-dependent inhibition of twitching motility in Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1: additive involvement of three BLUF-domain-containing proteins|journal=Microbiology |volume=159|issue=Pt 9|pages=1828–1841|doi=10.1099/mic.0.069153-0|issn=1465-2080|pmid=23813679}}</ref> and occur in pairs under magnification.
 
They are important [[soil life|soil organisms]], where they contribute to the [[Mineralization (soil)|mineralization]] of, for example, [[Aromaticity|aromatic compounds]]. ''Acinetobacter'' species are a key source of infection in debilitated patients in the hospital, in particular the species ''[[Acinetobacter baumannii]]''.
