JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 55 IS 3 SP 1287 OP 1293 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.63541-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB The taxonomic positions of six strains (including the type strain) of Chryseobacterium meningosepticum ( King 1959 ) Vandamme et al. 1994 and the type strain of Chryseobacterium miricola Li et al. 2004 were re-evaluated by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, showed that the strains represent a separate lineage from the type strains of the Chryseobacterium–Bergeyella–Riemerella branch within the family Flavobacteriaceae (90·7–93·9 % similarities), which was supported by phenotypic differences. Combined phylogenetic and phenotypic data showed that C. meningosepticum and C. miricola should be transferred to a new genus, Elizabethkingia gen. nov., with the names Elizabethkingia meningoseptica comb. nov. (type strain, ATCC 13253T=NCTC 10016T=LMG 12279T=CCUG 214T) and Elizabethkingia miricola comb. nov. (type strain, DSM 14571T=JCM 11413T=GTC 862T) proposed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.63541-0
