Picture of Janice Carr, a CDC microbiologist and electron microscopist, is scanning a specimen of Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria. Members of the genus Acinetobacter are nonmotile rods, 1-1.5µm in diameter, and 1.5-2.5µm in length, becoming spherical in shape while in their stationary phase of growth. Acinetobacter spp. are widely distributed in nature, and are normal flora on the skin. Some members of the genus are important because they are an emerging cause of hospital acquired pulmonary, i.e., pneumoniae, hemopathic, and wound infections. This image was created in 2004 and provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/James Gathany. [0004-0702-2722-4419] by 0004
