Overview

  • Acinetobacter schindleri is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Acinetobacter schindleri is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Nemec2001)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bilen2018e) and clinical specimens (urine, infection - CCUG). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
