Abstract:
The authors present their new scheme for the identification of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, requiring a lesser number of test, and the characterstics of 84 strains isolated from patients with acute intestinal diseases and from the environment. Some strains are atypical. Acinetobacter has been detected in 7.8 +/- 1.0% of patients with acute intestinal diseases. The authors' observations confirm that the detection of Acinetobacter in washings from such patients is more convincing for etiological diagnosis than its detection on feces.
