TL;DR
This study sequenced 12 Ralstonia mannitolilytica genomes from patients and water sprays, showing the bacteria likely came from contaminated cosmetics.
Contribution
The study provides draft genomes linking Ralstonia isolates from patients to contaminated cosmetic water sprays.
Findings
Draft genomes of 12 Ralstonia isolates showed fewer than 10 SNPs.
Genomic comparison indicated water sprays were the contamination source for patient infections.
Abstract
Ralstonia mannitolilytica, an opportunistic pathogen commonly present in water, was identified in three hospitalized patients over a short period of time. The comparison of draft genomes of 12 isolates from patients and water sprays showed fewer than 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, indicating that water sprays were the contamination source.
