Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is ubiquitous in nature, exhibits a multiple-antibiotic resistance phenotype, and causes rare opportunistic infections. We now report two draft genome sequences of E. meningoseptica type strains that were sequenced independently in two laboratories.

In order to evaluate the genetic variability of the causative agent of cold water disease (CWD), plasmid profiling was used to characterize Flavobacterium (F.) psychrophilum isolates (n = 169). Size analysis of plasmids in F. psychrophilum isolates (n = 128) from several fish species demonstrated that six kinds of plasmids were harbored, and ayu isolates had different profiles compared to other...

We are reporting the isolation of F. Meningosepticum from the blood culture of a 11⁄2 year old girl. She was a known case of tuberculous meningitis stage III with obstructive hydrocephalus and had undergone shunt surgery. The child was receiving adequate antitubercular treatment along with decongestants and anti-convulsants regularly. Following shunt surgery, the child started running high grad...

Abstract The flavobacterium Shikimatogenerans and the alpha-proteobacterium Wolbachia both influence ecology evolution of sawtoothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis . Genome analyses, phylogenetic inference manipulation three-partite association revealed two very different ways supporting beetle’s establishment adaptation as a global storage pest: synthesis aromatic amino acid precursors...
