A47, has been recovered from several soft tissue samples from a patient undergoing reconstructive surgery owing to a traumatic amputation. The results of 16S rRNA, rpoB, and gyrB gene comparative sequence analyses showed that A47 does not belong to any of the hitherto-known taxa and may represent an as-yet-unknown Acinetobacter species. The recognition of this novel organism contributes to our knowledge of the taxonomic complexity underlying infections caused by Acinetobacter.Journal of clinical microbiology349-51https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4290954biostudies-literatureA taxonomically unique Acinetobacter strain with proteolytic and hemolytic activities recovered from a patient with a soft tissue injury.PMC4290954Traglia GMBakai RVay CRamirez MSNemec ATuduri AKrizova LBarberis CMontana SAlmuzara MfalseA taxonomically unique Acinetobacter strain with proteolytic and hemolytic activities recovered from a patient with a soft tissue injury.A taxonomically unique bacterial strain, Acinetobacter sp.
