| fatal psychrobacter sp. infection in a pediatric patient with meningitis identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing in cerebrospinal fluid. | the genus psychrobacter contains environmental, psychrophilic and halotolerant gram-negative bacteria considered rare opportunistic pathogens in humans. metagenomics was performed on the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) of a pediatric patient with meningitis. nucleic acids were extracted, randomly amplified, and sequenced with the 454 gs flx titanium next-generation sequencing (ngs) system. sequencing reads were assembled, and potential virulence genes were predicted. phylogenomic and phylogenetic stud ... | 2016 | 26546315 |
| psychrobacter sanguinis: an unusual bacterium for nosocomial meningitis. | we report the first case of postneurosurgical meningitis due to psychrobacter sanguinis, identified only by 16s rrna analysis. psychrobacter spp. usually live in deep sea environments and cold habitats. despite a strict questioning of the patient and the medical staff, we did not find the source of this bacterium. | 2014 | 24989605 |
| description of psychrobacter sanguinis sp. nov. recovered from four clinical specimens in new york state over a 4-year period. | an analysis of 16s rrna gene sequences from archived clinical reference specimens has identified a new species of psychrobacter, p. sanguinis sp. nov., which was isolated from human blood. four independent strains were identified. the closest valid species, based on the 16s rrna gene sequences are psychrobacter arenosus, p. pulmonis, p. faecalis, and p. lutiphocae. dna-dna hybridization studies demonstrate that the new isolates belong to a species distinct from these nearest phylogenetic neighbo ... | 2011 | 21317274 |
