Abstract
Acinetobacter spp. are aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Moraxellaceae family of the class Gammaproteobacteria and are considered ubiquitous organisms. Among them, Acinetobacter baumannii is the most clinically significant species with an extraordinary ability to accumulate antimicrobial resistance and to survive in the hospital environment. Recent reports indicate that A. baumannii has also evolved into a veterinary nosocomial pathogen. Although Acinetobacter spp. can be identified to species level using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) coupled with an updated database, molecular techniques are still necessary for genotyping and determination of clonal lineages. It appears that the majority of infections due to A. baumannii in veterinary medicine are nosocomial. Such isolates have been associated with several types of infection such as canine pyoderma, feline necrotizing fasciitis, urinary tract infection, equine thrombophlebitis and lower respiratory tract infection, foal sepsis, pneumonia in mink, and cutaneous lesions in hybrid falcons. Given the potential multidrug resistance of A. baumannii, treatment of diseased animals is often support...Continue Reading
