Abstract

Elizabethkingia anophelis is an emerging multidrug resistant pathogen caused several global outbreaks recently. E. anophelis was frequently misidentified as E. meningoseptica in the past by conventional culture methods; therefore, the prevalence was often underestimated. Through revised identification, an increasing trend of E. anophelis infection was noted in a tertiary hospital and a dominant lineage of strains was recognized by genotyping.
