The recent advances in bacterial species identification methods
                have led to the rapid taxonomic diversification of the genus
                Acinetobacter. In the present study, phenotypic and molecular
                methods have been used to determine the taxonomic position of a
                group of 12 genotypically distinct strains belonging to the
                Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB)
                complex, initially described by Gerner-Smidt and Tjernberg in
                1993, that are closely related to A. pittii. Strains
                characterized in this study originated mostly from human samples
                obtained in different countries over a period of 15 years. rpoB
                and MLST sequences were compared against those of 94 strains
                representing all species included in the ACB complex. Cluster
                analysis based on such sequences showed that all 12 strains
                grouped together in a distinct clade closest to A. pittii that
                was supported by bootstrap values of 99%. Values of average
                nucleotide identity based on BLAST between the genome sequence
                of strain JVAP01 (NCBI accession n masculine. LJPG00000000) and
                those of other species from the ACB were always < 91.2%,
                supporting the species status of the group. In addition, the
                metabolic characteristics of the group matched those of the ACB
                complex and the analysis of their protein signatures by
                matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass
                spectrometry identified some specific peaks. Our results support
                the designation of these strains as a novel species and we
                propose the name A. dijkshoorniae sp. nov. The type strain is
                JVAP01T (CECT 9134T, LMG 29605T).
