Abstract:

A total of 152 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from 152 patients were identified by carbon source utilization tests and examined serologically. Polyclonal rabbit immune sera against A. baumannii strains were used in checkerboard tube agglutination tests, and 20 serovars were identified. One (serovar 19) cross-reacted with genospecies 3 (serovar 3), a closely related member of the genus Acinetobacter. Several outbreaks of nosocomial cross-infection caused by serovars 4 and 10 were delineated.
