Draft Genome Sequence of Empedobacter falsenii comb. nov. (ex- Wautersiella falsenii) Wf282, a strain isolated from a cervical neck abscess

Abstract

Wautersiella falsenii was first described in the year 2006 by Kampfer et al. (1). This genus phenotypically resembles members of the genera Chryseobacterium and Empedobacter. W. falsenii is a non-motile, gram-negative rod that grows aerobically at 20, 30 and 37 °C on standard media such as tryptic soy agar or blood agar. The Wf282 genome sequence could lead us to clarify the role and importance of this particular species as a nosocomial pathogen and permit us to compare the genome content of this species with its close relatives to identify defined features of E. falsenii.
