Selective synthetic growth medium “Acinetobacter phenylalanine agar” for isolation and identification of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus — Acinetobacter baumannii complex species

The aim of the study was to carry out clinical and microbiological testing of selective growth medium Acinetobacter phenylalanine agar to isolate and identify bacterial species belonging to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus — Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ACB complex). For this, 400 samples of clin...

For this, 400 samples of clinical material (wound discharge, blood, urine, bronchoalveolar lavage) were examined in 2018 in the Clinical and Bacteriological Laboratory of the Military Medical Academy by using routine assays (seeding on blood agar growth medium, pure culture isolation and identification by using biochemical assays as well as VITEK 2 microbial identification system, bioMerieux) and plating together with growth medium Acinetobacter phenylalanine agar selective to Acinetobacter spp. owing to L-phenylalanine as a sole nitrogen and carbon source additional selected with trimethoprim.
