title: Isolation and identification of Kroppenstedtia eburnea isolates from multiple patient samples.
abstract: No clinical isolates have been reported for the recently described thermoactinomycete Kroppenstedtia eburnea. Between 2006 and 2011, we obtained 14 clinical isolates from patients in 9 U.S. states. Here we report growth characteristics, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry-based identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of this recently described organism.
