Expert Verdict
Biosafety concern: the genus Acinetobacter includes opportunistic pathogens (notably A. baumannii), which are WHO critical-priority antibiotic-resistant organisms. While the finished ferment should contain no viable organisms, GMP SOPs should mandate: (1) species-level identification of the production strain, (2) confirmation of non-pathogenic status, (3) absence of viable organisms in the finished ingredient, and (4) endotoxin testing.
