Elizabethkingia Meningoseptica

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a Gram negative rod shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature (e.g. fresh water, salt water, or soil). It may be normally present in fish and frogs but are not normally present in the human microflora. In 1959 American bacteriologist Elizabeth O. King (who isolated Kingella in 1960) at CDC Atlanta, was studying unclassified bacteria associated with meningitis in infants, when she isolated an organism (CDC group IIa) that she named Flavobacterium meningosepticum (Flavobacterium means "the yellow bacillus"; meningosepticum means "associated with meningitis and sepsis", not septic meningitis). In 1994, it was reclassified in the genus Chryseobacterium and was named Chryseobacterium meningosepticum(chryseos = "golden" in Greek, so Chryseobacterium meaning again a golden/yellow rod similar to Flavobacterium). In 2005, a 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree of Chrysobacteria showed that C. meningosepticum along with C. miricola (which was reported to have been isolated from Russian space station Mir in 2001 and placed in the genus Chrysobacterium in 2003) were close to each other but outside the tree of the rest of the Chryseobacteria and were then placed in a new genus Elizabethkingia named after the original discoverer of F. meningosepticum.
