| wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica gen. nov., sp. nov., a new gammaproteobacterium isolated from wohlfahrtia magnifica (diptera: sarcophagidae). | new gammaproteobacteria were isolated from 3rd stage fly larvae of the parasitic fly wohlfahrtia magnifica. phylogenetic analysis of the new isolates showed that these bacteria belong to a distinct lineage close to ignatzschineria larvae, which was originally isolated from the same species of fly. the low similarity values in 16s rrna gene sequences (93.8-94.8 %), and differences in fatty acid profiles, riboprint patterns, maldi-tof mass spectra of cell extracts, and physiological and biochemica ... | 2008 | 18398205 |

| first report of wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica isolation from a patient with cellulitis in the united states. | we report the first documented isolation of wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica from a human in the united states. initially misidentified as acinetobacter lwoffii by vitek-2, the isolate was subsequently identified as w. chitiniclastica by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms) and 16s rrna gene sequencing. while the clinical significance of the isolate in this case is unclear, it highlights the superior performance of maldi-tof ms for bacterial ... | 2015 | 26378273 |
| wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica: current insights into an emerging human pathogen. | since the first description of wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica in 2008, a number of well described case reports demonstrating its pathogenic role in humans have been published. infections may be closely linked to flies, such as wohlfahrtia magnifica, lucilia sericata, chrysomya megacephala or musca domestica. these insects are potent vectors for the distribution of w. chitiniclastica causing local or systemic infections originating from wounds infested with fly larvae. however, other potential ... | 2017 | 28162132 |
| complete genome sequence of wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica strain bm-y, isolated from the pancreas of a zebra in china. | here, a complete genome sequence of wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica strain bm-y is presented. the whole genome is 2.18-mb and contains a blaveb-1 gene cassette which endows it with resistance to ceftazidime, ampicillin, tetracycline, etc. to our knowledge, this is the first time that an extended spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) type w. chitiniclastica strain has been found. | 2016 | 27365357 |
| identification of wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica isolated from an infected cow with hoof fetlow, china. | wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a rare but an emerging zoonotic pathogen. here, we report the isolation and identification of w. chitiniclastica strain dz2015 from hoof pus of an infected cow with hoof fetlow in shandong, china by 16s rrna gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. antimicrobial susceptibility testing and mouse infection experiments showed that the strain of w. chitiniclastica had broad susceptibility and was pathogenic ... | 2016 | 27079266 |
| first report of the emerging zoonotic agent wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica isolated from a retail frozen chicken in rio de janeiro, brazil. | wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is an emerging zoonotic bacterium commensally living in larvae of particular flies. it has been associated with human and animal infections but never isolated from food. in the present study, a whole chicken carcass was rinsed in buffered peptone water which was then inoculated into bhi and the growth plated onto selective medium. species identification was performed by maldi-tof ms. those bacteria identified as w. chitiniclastica were subjected to 16s rrna seque ... | 2016 | 26961699 |

| wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica-associated osteomyelitis: a rare case report. | wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a rare pathogen that was first isolated from a parasitic fly, wohlfahrtia magnifica. it is a very rare but an emerging human pathogen reported only in europe and south america. recently, it is reported to be an egressing zoonotic pathogen from different geographical locations. the present case represents the first report of this pathogen from a patient suffering from osteomyelitis from india and so far no reports are available regarding the w. chitiniclastica ... | 2015 | 26119949 |
