Isolation

The version of this article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elizabethkingia_anophelis&oldid=827345831 included a misleading introduction. Probably based on the abstract of the article. However, when the text in the article is read, the correct story appears, where it is clear that the bacteria were isolated from the lab and not from The Gambia: "During the characterization of organisms from the midgut of Anopheles gambiae G3 originating from McCarthy Island, The Gambia, a bacterial isolate was commonly recovered on Luria–Bertani (LB) agar containing ampicillin (100 mg/ml) at 37 C (Lindh et al., 2008) and was subsequently deposited by Dr William Collins at the Malaria Research Reference Resource Centre managed by the ATCC (MR4/ATCC). This bacterium was identified in 40 adults and two pupae of A. gambiae. Initial 16S rRNA gene sequencing and BLAST comparison showed that the isolate was most closely related to Elizabethkingia meningoseptica strains (GenBank accession nos EF426425–EF426434; Lindh et al., 2008). Several other laboratories have since reported the isolation of bacteria from the gut of mosquitoes that share 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 99–100% with Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (Dong et al., 2009; Kajla et al., 2010). The aim of the present study was to look further at this mosquito inhabitant. One of our isolates, originally designated strain R26T (Lindh et al., 2008), was selected for further study."Olle Terenius (UU) (talk) 16:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
