Acinetobacter pittii is a Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, strictly aerobic, nonmotile bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter.A. pittii belongs to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex and is named after the British microbiologist Tyrone Pitt. Bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter are ubiquitously distributed in nature. They are Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, nonmotile, diplococcoid rods that are oxidase negative and catalase positive. They are found in various types of soils and waters and are occasionally found in foodstocks. They are normal inhabitants of human skin and are capable of transitory colonization of the upper respiratory tract. They can cause infection in debilitated patients. DNA-DNA hybridization studies have been used to identify DNA groups (genomic species) within the genus Acinetobacter.
