Abstract

Incorrect identification of bacterial species would influence the epidemiology and clinical analysis of patients infected with Elizabethkingia . The results of the present study suggest that 16S rRNA gene sequencing should not be considered the gold standard for the accurate identification of Elizabethkingia species.
