DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15483
Abstract: An atypically large outbreak of Elizabethkingia anophelis infections occurred in Wisconsin. Here we show that it was caused by a single strain with thirteen characteristic genomic regions. Strikingly, the outbreak isolates show an accelerated evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14841-8
Abstract: Elizabethkingia anophelis has become an emerging infection in humans. Recent research has shown that previous reports of E. meningoseptica infections might in fact be caused by E. anophelis. We aimed to investigate the genomic features,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofad014
Abstract: Background Elizabethkingia anophelis is an emerging Gram-negative nonlactose fermenter in the health care setting, where it causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients. We aimed to characterize the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and evaluate the… read more here.
