Acinetobacter baumannii Naval-82

Acinetobacter baumannii Naval-82 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that typically exists as single cells. This organism thrives optimally at a temperature of 37.0°C and is classified as a heterotrophic chemoheterotroph, indicating that it derives its energy from organic compounds. As an aerobe, A. baumannii Naval-82 requires oxygen for its metabolic processes. This microbe has been isolated from multiple habitats, showcasing its adaptability to various environmental conditions. The ability to survive and proliferate in diverse settings may facilitate its persistence in clinical environments, where it can be associated with opportunistic infections. The ecological versatility of A. baumannii Naval-82 may also reflect a broader resilience among Acinetobacter species, allowing them to occupy niches that range from soil and water to hospital surfaces. In summary, A. baumannii Naval-82 exemplifies a microbe with a significant capacity for adaptation, which may contribute to its survival in environments that are often inhospitable to other organisms. Understanding its traits and habitats can provide insights into its role in microbial communities and potential implications for public health.
