Code Name Comment
BCT 94 Acinetobacter Baumannii Opportunistic pathogen, affecting people with compromised immune systems, but it is becoming increasingly important as a hospital-derived (nosocomial) infection.  Referred to as 'Iraqibacter' due to its seemingly sudden emergence in military treatment facilities during the Iraq War; has continued to be an issue for veterans and soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
BCT 95 Acinetobacter Baumannii, Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR-AB) A multi-drug resistant strain (MDR-AB) A. baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen, affecting people with compromised immune systems, and is becoming increasingly important as a hospital-derived (nosocomial) infection.
BCT 96 Actinomyces Israelii Found in the vagina, colon, and mouth. Infection is established first by a breach of the mucosal barrier during various procedures (dental, gastrointestinal), aspiration, or pathologies such as diverticulitis; causes actinomycosis (formation of painful abscesses in the mouth, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract).
BCT 97 Actinomyces Odontolyticus Part of the oral flora; also found in dental plaque and in deep dental caries. Causes actinomycosis - a granulomatous infection with the formation of abscesses in the mouth, lungs, or the gastrointestinal tract. Oral actinomycosis may occur due to trauma such as a tooth extraction or bleeding gums.
BCT 98 Aeromonas Hydrophila Mainly found in areas with a warm climate. Can cause gastroenteritis, mostly in young children and people who have compromised immune systems or growth problems; also associated with cellulitis. Can cause myonecrosis and eczema in people with compromised or suppressed immune systems, or in rare cases necrotising fasciitis.
