Elizabethkingia miricola (E. miricola) is a significant pathogen that causes the crooked head disease in black spotted frogs. This disease has plagued numerous frog farms in China and has resulted in substantial losses to the frog farming industry. N...
Elizabethkingia miricola is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that is highly pathogenic in both immunocompromised humans and animals. Once the disease occurs, treatment can be very difficult. Therefore, a deep understanding of the pathological mecha...
Background/Objectives: Hepcidin is a cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide that links iron homeostasis and innate immunity in vertebrates, but its functions in amphibians remain poorly understood. The Chinese spiny frog (Quasipaa spinosa) is an economi...
Bacteria in the genus Elizabethkingia have emerged as a cause of life-threatening infections in humans. However, accurate species identification of these pathogens relies on molecular techniques. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of 16S rRNA and comp...
Background and Objectives: Elizabethkingia species have become significant sources of infections acquired in hospital settings and are commonly linked to high mortality rates. Antimicrobial resistance can be influenced by Elizabethkingia species, geo...
The genus Elizabethkingia has recently emerged as a cause of life-threatening infections in humans, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Several new species in the genus Elizabethkingia have been proposed in the last decade. Numerous studies h...
