Abstract
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus colonization was observed in the gastroint estinal tracts of C.-B17-scid/scid (SCID) mice, while it was not obser ved in C.B17-scid/+ and C.B17-+/+ mice with normal immunity housed und er the same conditions. A. calcoaceticus and other viable enteric bact eria were not isolated from any organs other than gastrointestinal tra ct in SCID mice. The mice colonized with this organism were apparently healthy and no significant visceral lesion was observed.
