We report the first case of postneurosurgical meningitis due to Psychrobacter sanguinis, identified only by 16S rRNA analysis. Psychrobacter spp. usually live in deep sea environments and cold habitats. Despite a strict questioning of the patient and the medical staff, we did not find the source of this bacterium.

A strain belonging to the genus , named PraFG1, was isolated from the peritoneal effusion of a stray dog during necropsy procedures. The strain was characterized by the phylogenetic analyses based on the nucleotide sequences of 16S and 23S rRNA genes and of , which placed the strain in the genus . The nucleotide sequence of the chromosome confirmed the placement, showing an average nucleotide identity of 72.

Frequent colonization and bacterial infection of skin wounds in small animals prevent or impair their healing. However, the broadly applied antimicrobial therapy of wounds is not always necessary and promotes the spread of bacterial resistance. Thus, alternatives to antimicrobial therapy, including preventive measures in the form of wound dressings with antibiotic properties, should be searched for.
