Abstract
We report here the draft genome sequence of a Chryseobacterium indologenes strain, isolated from a blood culture of a 2.2-year-old child admitted to the hospital for vomiting and coughing. The genome was composed of 5,063,674 bp and had 37.04% GC content. We detected 4,796 genes with predicted protein-coding functions, including those associated with antibiotic resistance.
Highlights
Bacteria of the Chryseobacterium genus are nonmotile, chemoorganotrophic, and glucose-nonfermentative Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria
After 24 h, the colonies were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as C. indologenes, with a score of Ͼ2.0
The isolate was resistant to ticarcillin, piperacillin, ticarcillin plus clavulanate, tazobactam, ceftazidime, aztreonam, imipenem, gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, and ciprofloxacin, displayed an intermediate resistance to chloramphenicol, and remained susceptible to cefepime and tetracycline
Summary
Bacteria of the Chryseobacterium genus are nonmotile, chemoorganotrophic, and glucose-nonfermentative Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria. The strain forms on solid blood agar in typical yellow colonies due to a flexirubin-type pigment. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed according to the standard disc methods described in the CA-SFM guidelines [7], and susceptibility to chloramphenicol and tetracycline was tested. The isolate was resistant to ticarcillin, piperacillin, ticarcillin plus clavulanate, tazobactam, ceftazidime, aztreonam, imipenem, gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, and ciprofloxacin, displayed an intermediate resistance to chloramphenicol, and remained susceptible to cefepime and tetracycline.
