Abstract

Psychrobacter species are considered to be opportunistic human pathogens. We report here the isolation of a circular DNA molecule, MSSI1.162, from a serum sample taken from a multiple sclerosis patient during relapse. This isolate is distantly related to known Psychrobacter species and their plasmids.

Highlights

  • Psychrobacter species are considered to be opportunistic human pathogens

  • Psychrobacter species are frequently present as food contaminants and have been isolated from human tissues, including the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood

Summary

Introduction

Psychrobacter species are considered to be opportunistic human pathogens. We report here the isolation of a circular DNA molecule, MSSI1.162, from a serum sample taken from a multiple sclerosis patient during relapse. Psychrobacter species are frequently present as food contaminants and have been isolated from human tissues, including the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood. They are considered to be opportunistic human pathogens [1, 2].
