title: A Novel Member of Chitinophagaceae Isolated from a Human Peritoneal Tumor.
abstract: Peritoneal tumors from a rare malignancy, pseudomyxoma peritonei, frequently contain bacteria. Evidence suggests that tumor-associated bacteria contribute to pseudomyxoma peritonei development and/or progression. One unique isolate (PMP191F) was characterized via whole-genome sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq platform. PMP191F shows similarities to the Chitinophaga, Niastella, and Flavitalea genera.
