Acinetobacter Infections — Overview of Clinical Features

Autor: Ethan Rubinstein, Itzchak Levi

Acinetobacter spp. are Gram-negative coccobacilli that are distributed widely in the environment. Although Acinetobacter is an opportunistic organism of relatively low virulence, severe infections with these organisms do occur, especially in compromi
