Wautersiella falsenii was first described in the year 2006 by Kampfer et al. (1). This genus phenotypically resembles members of the genera Chryseobacterium and Empedobacter. W. falsenii is a non-motile, gram-negative rod that grows aerobically at 20, 30 and 37 °C on standard media such as tryptic soy agar or blood agar. The Wf282 genome sequence could lead us to clarify the role and importance of this particular species as a nosocomial pathogen and permit us to compare the genome content of this species with its close relatives to identify defined features of E. falsenii.
