Soil-dwelling (gamma)proteobacteria that can cause infections in immunocompromised individuals; they are obligately anaerobic rods (notable specific epithet = baumannii).

Acinetobacter, though not possessing flagella, do display twitching motility and thus in reality are not actually a-motile.

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen.
