Acinetobacter lwoffii

Jump to:navigation, search

Background

Nonfermentative Gram-negative bacillus within the genus Acinetobacter
Formerly Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var. lwoffii and Mima polymorpha
Normal flora of human skin, oropharynx, and perineum

Clinical Manifestations

Occasionally causes opportunistic infections

Management

Susceptibilities are generally similar to Acinetobacter baumannii complex
Meropenem and imipenem are reliable, as are fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, minocycline, and possibly amoxicillin/clavulanic acid^[1]
