Acinetobacter isolates from eight subjects with community-acquired Acinetobacter pneumonia (CAAP), a major cause of fatal community-acquired pneumonia in tropical Australia, were phenotypically and genotypically confirmed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis to be broadly diverse Acinetobacter baumannii strains. Wet-season throat carriage of A. baumannii was found in 10% of community residents with excess levels of alcohol consumption, the major at-risk group for CAAP.
从八名社区获得性不动杆菌肺炎(CAAP)患者中分离出的不动杆菌,经脉冲场凝胶电泳分析在表型和基因型上确认为广泛多样的鲍曼不动杆菌菌株。CAAP的主要高危人群是饮酒过量的社区居民,在10%的此类居民中发现了雨季时咽部携带鲍曼不动杆菌的情况。CAAP是澳大利亚热带地区致命社区获得性肺炎的主要病因。
