Acinetobacter baumannii, an environmental Gram-negative bacterium, is emerging as an important nosocomial pathogen. We tested the ability of an A. baumannii clinical isolate (named SMAL) to form biofilm and to produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), factors likely to contribute to its persistence in hospital settings. We find that, similar to many other environmental bacteria, biofilm production by A. baumannii is higher at sub-optimal growth temperatures. Production of adhesion factors is strongly affected by growth media: in the presence of glucose, biofilm formation is totally inhibited by treatment with cellulase, thus suggesting that cellulose, or another cellulase-sensitive EPS, is an important biofilm determinant. In contrast, b...
