The timing and nature of what happened in France, Tunisia and Kuwait should also be considered, as itâs no coincidence that the attacks occurred as we near the 10 year anniversary of Londonâs 7/7 bombing.
Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a Gram-negative bacillus that is emerging as an opportunistic pathogen. It is widely found in nature, especially in water and soil, and has been isolated from hospital environments such as distilled water, nebulizers, and multiple equipments used in medical care.
Sphingomonas is a Gram-negative, nonsporeforming, chemoheterotrophic, strictly aerobic bacterium that typically produces yellow- or off-white-pigmented colonies. It is unique in its possession of ubiquinone 10 as its major respiratory quinone, and of glycosphingolipids (GDLs) instead of lipopolysaccharide in their cell envelopes.
