title: Identification of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica isolated from an infected cow with hoof fetlow, China.
abstract: Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a rare but an emerging zoonotic pathogen. Here, we report the isolation and identification of W. chitiniclastica strain DZ2015 from hoof pus of an infected cow with hoof fetlow in Shandong, China by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and mouse infection experiments showed that the strain of W. chitiniclastica had broad susceptibility and was pathogenic to mice. This is the first report of the W. chitiniclastica isolated from an infected domestic animal in China.
