  abstract = {{B}ackground: {A}cinetobacter baumannii has previously been detected and genotyped in human body lice. {T}he objectives of this study were to determine the presence of this bacterium in head and body lice collected from healthy individuals in {E}thiopia by molecular methods and to characterize the genotype. {M}ethods: {H}uman lice from locations at different altitudes in {E}thiopia were screened for the presence of {A}cinetobacter sp by targeting the rpo{B} gene. {A}cinetobacter baumannii was detected and genotyped using rec{A} {PCR} amplification. {R}esults: {A} total of 115 head and 109 body lice were collected from 134 healthy individuals. {A}cinetobacter sp were found in 54 head (47%) and 77 body (71%) lice. {T}he rec{A} gene was sequenced for 60 of the {A}cinetobacter sp and 67% were positive for {A}. baumannii; genotype 1 was retrieved the most frequently. {C}onclusion: {O}ur study is the first to show the presence of {A}. baumannii in human body lice, and also in head lice, in {E}thiopia.},
