Isolation and characterization of two novel bacteria Afipia cberi and Mesorhizobium hominis from blood of a patient afflicted with fatal pulmonary illness.

We recently isolated and discovered new Bradyrhizobiaceae microbes from the cryopreserved culture broth of blood samples from 3 patients with poorly defined illnesses using modified SP4 media and culture conditions coupled with genomic sequencing. Using a similar protocol, we studied a previously cr...
