SEM depicts a highly magnified cluster of Gram-negative, non-motile Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria; Mag - 13331x. Members of the genus Acinetobacter are nonmotile rods, µm in diameter, and µm in length, becoming spherical in shape while in their stationary phase of growth. Acinetobacter baumannii is a species of pathogenic bacteria, referred to as an aerobic gram-negative bacterium, that is resistant to most antibiotics. As a result of its resistance to drug treatment, some estimates state the disease is killing tens of thousands of hospital patients each year. The illness c

Acinetobacter baumannii is a species of pathogenic bacteria, referred to as an aerobic gram-negative bacterium, that is resistant to most antibiotics. As a result of its resistance to drug treatment, some estimates state the disease is killing tens of thousands of hospital patients each year. The illness can cause severe pneumonia and infections of the urinary tract, bloodstream and other parts of the body .A. baumannii forms opportunistic infections. There have been many reports of A. baumannii infections among American soldiers wounded in Iraq, earning it the nickname "Iraqibacter". Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is abbreviated as MDRAB.
