posted on 2023-05-05, 13:54 authored by Zongyao Chen, Liangyou Tang, Chengliang Yuan, Jianfei E, Dengchao Wang, Xiao Liu, Mao Zheng, Hualiang Xiao, Shuming JiangKosakonia radicincitans is a species within the new genus Kosakonia, which is typically a plant pathogen,
with rare reports of human infection. The number of human infections may be underestimated
because this new genus is under-represented among diagnostic tools. This report describes a case of
bloodstream infection caused by K. radicincitans. The pathogen was identified by matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization-TOF mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The hypervirulent human
pathogenicity gene LON, which has not been described before, was detected in the bacterial genome by
gene annotation. Thus, this discovery provides a new reference for studying the pathogenic mechanism
of this rare pathogen.
