摘要：

We studied the surface hydrophobicity of 88 Acinetobacter baumannii strains of clinical origin, using both salt aggregation and adherence to paraxylene tests. Strains were divided into 2 groups: the first included 65 strains isolated from various clinical samples (infected catheters, tracheal and bladder devices); the second included 23 strains isolated from skin obtained from healthy controls. High surface hydrophobicity was observed in 92 % of the first group of strains and in only 5 % of the second. © 1990.
