Empedobacter brevis formerly known as Flavobacterium brevis are gram-negative, and short nonmotile rods, which are widely distributed in the environment both in soil and water. They are also found in plants, raw meat products, and in hospital environments, which could lead to rare nosocomial infections.

Oct 15, 2015 · Empedobacter brevis (E. brevis) is a Gram-negative bacillus that belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family. It is commonly found in soil, water, raw meat products, and hospital environments [1, 2]. However, clinically significant disease due to E. brevis is very rare.

Empedobacter brevis is a rare nosocomial pathogen that is occasionally a cause of meningitis. Although it has been isolated from other clinical specimens such as blood and urine, its role in infections is unclear (Bellais et al., 2002b).

Empedobacter brevis is gram-negative bacilli that belongs to Flavobacteriaceae family. It was previously known with name of Flavobacterium breve.

Jan 1, 2023 · Empedobacter falsenii, formerly known as Wautersiella falsenii, was first described in 2006. It is a non-motile, non-fermenting, gram-negative rod, which grows aerobically. A handful of case reports have described its isolation from respiratory, urinary and abscess samples.

Jan 28, 2022 · Empedobacter brevis (E. brevis) is a gram-negative, nonmotile, aerobic bacteria that is part of the Flavobacteriaceae family. It is mostly found in water sources, plants, soils, and more recently, hospital environments. There have been emerging cases of human infections, although still rare.
