چکیده
Weeksella virosa is an aerobic Gram-negative rod that has rarely been reported to cause infection. We describe a fatal case of W. virosa sepsis in a young female with end-stage renal disease, report three additional cases of W. virosa infection, and review the literature regarding this infection.

Complete genome sequence of Weeksella virosa type strain (9751T)
Weeksella virosa Holmes et al. 1987 is the sole member and type species of the genus Weeksella which belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes. Twenty-nine isolates, collected from clinical specimens provided the basis for the taxon description. While the species seems to be a saprophyte of the mucous membranes of healthy man and warm-blooded animals a causal relations...
متن کاملMicrobiological characteristics of Weeksella virosa (formerly CDC group IIf) isolated from the human genitourinary tract.
Weeksella virosa (formerly CDC group IIf) is a nonsaccharolytic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, gram-negative rod which is unable to grow on MacConkey agar. At 48 h of incubation on blood or chocolate agar, the colonies present a characteristic appearance: intensely mucoid, adherent, and cream colored as a result of the production of a nondiffusible yellow pigment. This microorganism has been ...

Strain FF8(T) (= CSUR P860 = DSM 28259) was isolated in Dakar, Senegal, from the urine of a 65-year-old man with acute cystitis. This strain shows a similarity of sequence of 16S rRNA of 98.38% with Weeksella virosa, and its GenBank accession numbers are HG931340 and CCMH00000000. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis had a poor score, ranging fro...
متن کاملTaxonogenomics and description of Vaginella massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., strain Marseille P2517T, a new bacterial genus isolated from the human vagina
An obligate aerobic, Gram-negative, nonmotile and nonsporulating rod designated Marseille P2517 was isolated from the vaginal flora. We describe its features, annotate the genome and compare it to the closest species. The 16S rRNA analysis shows 93.03% sequence similarity with Weeksella virosa, the phylogenetically closest species. Its genome is 2 434 475 bp long and presents 38.16% G+C. On the...
