• We report a case of S. mucosissima bacteremia in a patient with sickle cell disease. (cdc.gov)
  • Sphingomonas mucosissima is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from soil crusts from the Colorado Plateau in the United States. (wikipedia.org)
  • S. mucosissima was isolated and identified in 2007 by Reddy and Garcia-Pichel from biologic soil crust samples collected from sandy arid soil in the US Colorado Plateau ( 5 ). (cdc.gov)
  • Phenotypic identification of the gram-negative bacilli failed because the definite bacterial species S. mucosissima was not included in the API database ( http://industry.biomerieux-usa.com/industry/food/api/apiweb.htm ) used for the phenotypic identification. (cdc.gov)
  • nov. and Sphingomonas desiccabilis sp. (wikipedia.org)
  • Sphingomonas desiccabilis enhanced mean leached concentrations of REEs compared to non-biological controls in all gravity conditions. (nature.com)
  • Two S. mucosissima isolates were recovered from 2 different blood-culture samples drawn 24 hours apart, which suggests that S. mucosissima was not just a transient organism but indeed was responsible for the patient's septicemia. (cdc.gov)
  • Using BLAST version 2.2.9 software ( www.ncbi.nlm.nig.gov/BLAST ), we determined that this sequence showed 98% similarity with the 16S rDNA sequence of S. mucosissima (GenBank accession no. (cdc.gov)
