Acinetobacter baumannii SDF. This strain is responsible for community-acquired infections, and is sensitive to antibiotics.

Since the louse's internal body is usually sterile, the presence of this bacteria can only be due to cryptic bacteremic episodes. This strain is susceptible to antibiotics while strain AYE is highly resistant.
