The multifaceted genusAcinetobacter: from infection to bioremediation
Abstract
Acinetobacter is a vast bacterial genus comprising of numerous species with variable characteristics. The enigma associated with clinical strains that have been implicated in many nosocomial outbreaks has prompted the need for continuous research on pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii and members of the ACB complex. However, numerous species of Acinetobacter genus possess diverse metabolic capabilities and have the potential for a plethora of industrial and environment-based applications. Therefore, a comprehensive review on the entire genus, including many under-represented topics, would contribute extensive information to the scientific community indulged in Acinetobacter research. The current review is a unique compilation that attempts to provide the latest update on the genus covering its clinical as well as ecological aspects. Moreover, it is the first study of its kind that focuses on the entire genus and elaborates on the phylogenetic relationships, pathogenesis, and virulence mechanisms, followed by emerging biotechnological applications with future directions.
