Background: Hospital reservoirs of Achromobacter xylosoxidans, responsible for nosocomial infections, are poorly known.
Methods: We examined the growth, survival and biofilm formation of five A. xylosoxidans strains for up to 2 y in distilled, dialysis or microfiltered water.
Background: Achromobacter xylosoxidans is described as being resistant to antiseptics and disinfectants. We studied in vitro the ability of five strains to survive and grow in such solutions, with and without starvation.
Methods: Bacterial suspensions in rich media and in distilled water were inoculated into eight antiseptics or disinfectants under conditions of use.
