A Case of Acinetobacter lwoffii in an Aborted Calf

Abstract

In the genus that was first isolated from the soil under the name of Micrococcus calcoaceticus in 1911 and called Acinetobacter today, a total of 32 species have been identified, 22 of which have received valid names and the rest are named as "genomic group". Species belonging to the genus Acinetobacter are low-virulence, opportunistic pathogens found in nature, soil and polluted water. They pose a risk because they cause a wide variety of infections in humans and have multiple antibacterial resistance. In many different animal species, mastitis, metritis, abortion, septicemia, chronic hematuria, etc. cases and A. lwoffii were reported from the upper respiratory tract and vaginal flora. The purpose of this case report is to make a report of A. lwoffii isolated from an aborted fetus.
