Abstract:
Objective To identify one runny mucoid-like Gram-negative bacteria with pink pigment isolated from clinical pus sample. Methods The pus sample was aseptically extracted from a deep lesions of one patient, then stored in Amies medium at room temperature for transportation. One sheep blood plate and one chocolate plate were used to detect the possible pathogens from the specimens. After inoculation, the plates were placed in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 35 ℃. To identify the obtained isolates, we used the commercial Vitek2 and API systems, combining some traditional morphological examination and classical biochemical and physiological characteristics. For pure cultures, the cellular fatty acids were extracted, methylated, and determined by gas chromatography method. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced by a commercial broad-spectrum PCR primers. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene was constructed by Mega 4.1 software using the neighbour-joining methods with 1 000 bootstrap replications. Results One runny mucoid-like Gram-negative bacterium, named K8756, was isolated both on sheep blood and chocolate plates after 72 h incubation. The API 20NE profile was 1245045 after a 3-day culture, which would be identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi with a good confidence of 98% probability. It was identified as Ralstonia pickettii and Bordetella bronchiseptica by VITEK 2 GN kits. However, further comparative 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain K8756 was closely related to the valid published Roseomonas mucosa MDA 5527 with 100% identity. Colonial morphologic features, phenotypic characteristics and major cellular fatty acid composition were also with high similarity to Roseomonas mucosa. Conclusions Strain K8756( = GIMCC 1.0030 ) is identified as Roseomonas mucosa by the polyphasic phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The comparative analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences is a useful method for identifying the problematic and newly named bacteria.
