Prevalence and molecular characteristics of Shewanella infection in diarrhea patients in Beijing, China 2017-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Shewanella is an important opportunistic pathogen distributed in marine environments that has caused an increasing number of clinical infections. However, there are few reports on the distribution and characteristics of Shewanella in the diarrheal pathogen spectrum. In this study, we have systematically described the prevalence of Shewanella infections in diarrhea patients in Beijing, China 2017-2019, and genome characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of Shewanella isolates.

Methods

Stool samples were collected from diarrhea patients in a surveillance project from 2017 to 2019. Shewanella strains were isolated, and identified using VITEKR 2 COMPACT and MALDI-TOF MS. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis, multi-loc
