Clinical and molecular characteristics of Chryseobacterium indologenes isolates at a teaching hospital in Shanghai, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chryseobacterium indologenes (C. indologenes) has recently emerged as a cause of life-threatening nosocomial infections in humans. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics, homology, and antimicrobial patterns of C. indologenes clinical isolates at a teaching hospital in Shanghai, China.

Methods

A total of 135 consecutive non-replicate clinical C. indologenes isolates from January 2010 to December 2018 were collected at a tertiary care university hospital in Shanghai, China. Genetic relatedness of the isolates was performed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The antimicrobial susceptibility of these isolates was measured by the microdilution broth method. The prevalence of β-lactamase genes was
