Acinetobacter [as´ĭ-net´o-bak´ər]
Acinetobacter baumannii—named in honor of American bacteriologists Paul and Linda Baumann—is a nosocomial pathogen with acquired multidrug resistance that is emerging as a major concern worldwide. Motility is linked to increased virulence in bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Dichelobacter nodosus; however, whether motility plays a role in the virulence of A. baumannii remains unclear.
