Infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii often occur in outbreaks during which the bacteria are spread through contact with clinical personnel harboring the bacteria and from colonized hospital equipment (2). Environmental sur¬veillance of hospital surfaces is useful in determining if equipment is colonized by A. baumannii and identifying the sources of hospital outbreaks (3, 5, 6). Leeds Acinetobacter medium (LAM) is a differential medium developed to se¬lectively support the growth of Acinetobacter species (4) |
