First isolations of Segniliparus rugosus from patients with cystic fibrosis

W Ray Butler et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

We report three cases of the new genus Segniliparus isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis. All isolates were unambiguously identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Segniliparus rugosus (GenBank accession no. AY 60892). Drug susceptibility results that may enhance treatment for cystic fibrosis patients with this opportunistic pathogen are presented.
