Elizabethkingia anophelis is a yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, gram-negative bacterium in the Flavobacteriaceae family.[1] Elizabethkingia is isolated from the midgut of Anopheles gambiae G3 mosquitoes reared in captivity.[2][1] The genus Elizabethkingia, named for former US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) microbiologist Elizabeth O. King,[3] also includes E. meningoseptica which causes neonatal sepsis and infections in immunocompromised persons, E. endophytica, and E. miricola.
The possibility of the role of mosquitoes in the maintenance and transmission of E. anophelis remains unclear.[4]
