kerstersia gyiorum gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel alcaligenes faecalis-like organism isolated from human clinical samples, and reclassification of alcaligenes denitrificans rüger and tan 1983 as achromobacter denitrificans comb. nov.	a polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on nine isolates recovered from various human clinical samples. phenotypically, these isolates resembled alcaligenes faecalis. whole-cell protein analysis distinguished two different species, and this was confirmed by dna-dna hybridizations. cellular fatty acid analysis and 16s rdna sequence analysis indicated that these isolates were related to the genera alcaligenes, bordetella, achromobacter and pigmentiphaga and belonged to the family alcaligenaceae ...	2003	14657111
kerstersia similis sp. nov., isolated from human clinical samples.	gyrb sequence analysis, (gtg)5-primed pcr fingerprinting and biochemical characteristics present in the biolog gen iii microtest system were used to differentiate an unnamed kerstersia species from kerstersia gyiorum, the type and only named species in this genus. the inability to oxidize d-galacturonic and d-glucuronic acid and the capacity to oxidize d-serine, along with the gyrb sequences and (gtg)5-pcr fingerprints readily differentiate the unnamed taxon from the type species. therefore, we ...	2011	22058318
isolation of kerstersia gyiorum from a patient with cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media.	we describe the first case of a kerstersia gyiorum strain isolated from a patient with cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media. we emphasize the isolation of members of the family alcaligenaceae in serious infections and unusual sites and the importance of polyphasic identification addressing the definitive identification.	2012	22972825
two cases of kerstersia gyiorum isolated from sites of chronic infection.	kerstersia gyiorum is infrequently associated with human infection. we report the isolation of kerstersia gyiorum from two patients: the first, a patient with chronic ear infections, and the second, a patient with a chronic leg wound. both isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin, which has not been previously reported.	2013	23596236
two cases of chronic suppurative otitis media caused by kerstersia gyiorum in tanzania: is it an underappreciated pathogen in chronic otitis media?	two cases of mixed infection involving kerstersia gyiorum causing chronic suppurative otitis media (csom) have been reported worldwide. we report, for the first time, two cases of csom due to mixed infections involving k. gyiorum in adults in africa. both isolates were intermediate susceptible to ciprofloxacin based on european committee on antimicrobial susceptibility testing (eucast) breakpoints.	2014	25461666
kerstersia gyiorum isolated from a bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with a chronic tracheostomy.	the use of the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (maldi-tof) mass spectrometry (ms) generates rapid microbial identification. we are presenting a case of a 63-year-old woman with a medical history of chronic tracheostomy admitted for hypotension and fevers to illustrate the clinical implication of maldi-tof ms on bacterial identification. kerstersia gyiorum was identified from the bronchoalveolar lavage isolate. kerstersia gyiorum has been isolated from human sputum samp ...	2014	25506444
bacteremia caused by kerstersia gyiorum.	kerstersia spp. are an unusual cause of human infections. we report the first known case of bacteremia and sepsis due to kerstersia gyiorum, in a patient with chronic lower-extremity ulcers, and we review the literature on this uncommon pathogen.	2015	25809974
a case of chronic suppurative otitis media caused by kerstersia gyiorum.	chronic suppurative otitis media is inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid that involves discharge and hearing loss. kerstersia gyiorum is a member of the alcaligenaceae family that who could not be treated with classical treatments such as patients with chronic otitis media, neck abscesses. k. gyiorum strain isolated from a patient with chronic suppurative otitis media.	2015	26303793
draft genome sequence of kerstersia gyiorum cg1, isolated from a leg ulcer.	we report the first draft genome sequence of kerstersia gyiorum from a leg ulcer of a patient with diabetes and osteomyelitis. the 3.94-mb genome assembly included 3,428 annotated coding sequences with an n50 of 223,310 bp and a plasmid encoding a type iv secretion system gene and two antitoxin genes.	2015	26358603
a first case of isolation of kerstersia gyiorum from urinary tract.	an 82-year-old man with percutaneous nephrostomy presented to our hospital with dysuria for one day. the patient's percutaneous nephrostomy tube was exchanged, with about 20 ml of creamy purulent urine being collected. direct smear of the urine specimen showed polymorphonuclear leukocytes and small gram-negative bacilli, some of which had undergone phagocytosis. this organism was identified as kerstersia gyiorum using 16s ribosomal rna gene analysis. he was successfully recovered with exchange o ...	2016	26683244
isolation of culturable aerobic bacteria and evidence of kerstersia gyiorum from the blowhole of captive yangtze finless porpoises.	bacterial respiratory illnesses are problematic in aquatic mammals such as the yangtze finless porpoise (neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis; yfp), which is now at a critically endangered status. yet little is known about the bacteria inhabiting the respiratory tract of yfps. in this study, we preliminarily characterized the culturable aerobic bacteria from blow samples of captive yfps. the bacterial diversity was assessed through cultivation by direct exhalation onto columbia blood agar ...	2016	27251558
