According to Vandamme et al. (2016), Achromobacter spiritinus strains should be
reclassified as Achromobacter marplatensis owing to erroneous sequence data.
Gram-negative, small rods, 0.5–1 μm long, occuring single, in pairs or in short
chains. Motile.
Can grow at 14 and 40 ºC. No growth in 6.5% NaCl. Can grow on MacConkey agar,
cetrimide agar, acetamide, but not on King’s media A and B.
Isolated from soil in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
Resistant to kanamycin. Sensitive to amoxicillin, ampicillin and carbenicillin (30 μg/ml).
Undetermined.
