Query: NC_011295:847903 Coprothermobacter proteolyticus DSM 5265, complete genome Lineage: Coprothermobacter proteolyticus; Coprothermobacter; Thermodesulfobiaceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: This organism was isolated from a thermophilic digestor that was fermenting tannery wastes and cattle manure. Coprothermobacter proteolyticus is a nonmotile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium. This organism was originally classified as Thermobacteroides proteolyticus and subsequently assigned to the new genus of Coprothermobacter.

General Information: Acinetobacter baumannii strain ACICU (also called H34) was isolated from an outbreak in an intensive care unit in Rome, Italy. This bacterium is commonly isolated from the hospital environment and hospitalized patients. It is an aquatic organism, and is often cultured from liquid medical samples such as respiratory secretions, wounds, and urine. Acinetobacter also colonizes irrigating solutions and intravenous solutions. Although it has low virulence, it is capable of causing infection. Most isolates recovered from patients represent colonization rather than infection. When infections do occur, they usually occur in the blood, or in organs with a high fluid content, such as the lungs or urinary tract.Infections by this organism are becoming increasingly problematic due to the high number of resistance genes found in clinical isolates. Some strains are now resistant to all known antibiotics. Most of these genes appear to have been transferred horizontally from other organisms.
