Methods of Identifying Gordonia Strains in Clinical Samples

Ekaterina Frantsuzova et al. Pathogens. .

Abstract

Gordonia spp. are members of the family Gordoniacea in the suborder Corynebacteriales; their habitat, in most cases, is soil. Many representatives of this genus are human or veterinary pathogens. The main cause of the lack of a standardized approach to dealing with infections caused by Gordonia is their erroneous identification and little information regarding their susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs. This review presents the most common methods for identifying Gordonia strains, including modern approaches for identifying a species. The main prospects and future directions of this field of knowledge are briefly presented.

Keywords: Gordonia; MALDI–TOF MS; NGS; identification; pathogenesis; phylogenetic markers; sequencing.
