Differentiation of Acinetobacter Genomic Species 13BJ/14TU from Acinetobacter haemolyticus by Use of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Acinetobacter genomic species 13BJ and genomic species 14TU were delineated independently in 1989 based on DNA-DNA hybridization among proteolytic strains of human origin ([1][1], [2][2]). Later studies suggested that these two taxa were congruent with each other at the species level and represented
