First report of isolation and characterization of Aurantimonas altamirensis from clinical samples

Abstract

The genus Aurantimonas, proposed in 2003, encompasses four species from environmental sources, including Aurantimonas altamirensis, isolated from a cave wall in Spain. Here, we report what we believe are the first cases of the recovery of A. altamirensis from human clinical materials.

Phylogenetic relationships inferred using the neighbor-joining method with 16S rRNA gene sequence data for species in the genus Aurantimonas and clinically derived isolates. The scale represents percentages of substitutions. Escherichia coli was used as a distant outlier, and Fulvimarina pegali was used as a family-level outlier.
