Differences in Clinical Manifestations, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns, and Mutations of Fluoroquinolone Target Genes between Chryseobacterium gleum and Chryseobacterium indologenes.

ABSTRACT: Chryseobacterium infections are uncommon, and previous studies have revealed that Chryseobacterium gleum is frequently misidentified as Chryseobacterium indologenes We aimed to explore the differences in clinical manifestations and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns between C. gleum and C. indologenes The database of a clinical microbiology laboratory was searched to identify patients with Chryseobacterium infections between 2005 and 2017. Species were reidentified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and patients with C. gleum and C. indologenes infections were included in the study. A total of 42 C. gleum and 84 C. indologenes isolates were collected from consecutive patients. A significant increase in C. indologenes<
