Elizabethkingia miricola draft genome sequencing

Elizabethkingia miricola is an opportunistic pathogen with a non-specific taxon designation. See: Kim KK et al. 2005. Transfer of Chyrseobacterium meningosepticum and Chryseobacterium miricola to Elizabethkingia gen. nov. as Elizabethkingia meningoseptica comb. nov. and Elizabethkingia miricola comb. nov. Int. J. Sys. Evol. Microbiol. 55:1287-1293. This study uses whole genome phylogeny to define Elizabethkingia miricola as distinct from E. meningoseptica, and E. anophelis.
