Taxonomic reassessment of the genus Elizabethkingia using whole-genome sequencing: Elizabethkingia endophytica Kämpfer et al. 2015 is a later subjective synonym of Elizabethkingia anophelis Kämpfer et al. 2011 Doijad, Swapnil and Ghosh, Hiren and Glaeser, Stefanie and Kämpfer, Peter and Chakraborty, Trinad,, 66, 4555-4559 (2016), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001390, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= The taxonomic status of all species of the genus Elizabethkingia was re-evaluated by comparative genomics based on whole-genome sequencing. From these results it is clear that Elizabethkingia endophytica is a later subjective synonym of Elizabethkingia anophelis . In addition, genome-based analysis revealed the misidentification of isolates previously identified by traditional approaches and indicates the presence of two more species. We propose a more rapid identification scheme on the basis of an in silico PCR assay derived from comparative genomics of whole-genome sequences (WGS) from 29 well-curated strains., language=, type=
