“…are Gram-negative, oxidase positive and non-fermentative rods 1 . One of the best known species of the genus is Sphingomonas paucimobilis as it was originally said to be the only species described in human infection 1,2 . It is a non-spore forming strictly aerobic, yellow-pigmented bacteria that can survive in low nutrient environment 1,3 .…”

Complete genomes of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms provide valuable resources for researchers to understand molecular mechanisms involved in bioremediation. Despite the well-known ability of Sphingomonas paucimobilis to degrade persistent xenobiotic compounds, a complete genome sequencing is lacking for this organism. In line with this, we report the first complete genome sequence of Sphingomonas paucimobilis (strain AIMST S2), an organophosphate and hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from oil-polluted soil at Kedah, Malaysia. The genome was derived from a hybrid assembly of short and long reads generated by Illumina HiSeq and MinION, respectively. The assembly resulted in a single contig of 4,005,505 bases which consisted of 3,612 CDS and 56 tRNAs. An array of genes involved in xenobiotic degradation and plant-growth promoters were identified, suggesting its’ potential role as an effective microorganism in bioremediation and agriculture. Having reported the first complete genome of the species, this study will serve as a stepping stone for comparative genome analysis of Sphingomonas strains and other xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms as well as gene expression studies in organophosphate biodegradation.

“…The bacterium Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Pseudomonas paucimobilis formerly, 1,2 It is a gram-negative bacillus uniflagelado, strictly aerobic, oxidase and catalase positive, non-glucose fermenters. [3][4][5] Its natural habitat is not well known, however have been isolated bacterial strains that grow at room temperature (25-36°C) in water, soil, water hospital systems, dialysis fluids, medicines, sterile water, etc. 1,3,6,7 Since its discovery in 1977, hence the name of their kind "paucimobilis" is metabolically recognized as an oligotrophic bacteria and allowing it to survive in an environment with low nutrient availability and has a high biodegradable capacity.…”

Sphingomonas Paucimobilisis a gram negative bacilli (GNB). It has-been isolated in different places like water, soil, medications, dialysis fluids and hospital water systems. ITS, although pathogenic potential is mainly in immunocompromised hosts attributed, cases of severe infections in immunocompetent Patients have also been reported. Since its discovery, a large variety of infections such as, meningitis, endophthalmitis, peritonitis, septic arthritis, endovascular devices-related infections and so forth have been reported. Despite multiple severe infections have been described by this bacterium, the isolation of S. paucimobilis with multi resistance never had been reported. We report a case of endovascular device-related sepsis by carbapenemproducing S. paucimobilis (KPC) in a 64 years old female patient dialysis-dependent.
