Flavobacteria are not frequently isolated from patient material. F. meningosepticum is a well-known agent of neonatal meningitis which has a poor prognosis. Colonization of compromised hosts in the respiratory tract may occur under epidemic situations. Clinically significant isolates from other sources are in the minority. F. odoratum and II-F have been most frequently isolated from the urogenital tract, and II-J from dog or cat bites. With the exception of the penicillin-sensitive II-F and II-J, most flavobacteria are resistant to many antimicrobials. Effective compounds include rifampin, nalidixic acid, novobiocin, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. There may be considerable discrepancies between the results of disc and tube dilution tests.Citation
