Pannonibacter phragmitetus, described from a Hungarian soda lake in 2003, had been recognized several decades earlier from human blood cultures as Achromobacter groups B and E.

Abstract excerpt

We performed a polyphasic taxonomic study on isolates previously tentatively classified as Achromobacter groups B and E in comparison with the type strain of Pannonibacter phragmitetus, LMG 22736(T)=NCTC 13350(T). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that strains of Achromobacter groups B and E belong to P. phragmitetus (similarity levels were higher than 99 %). DNA-DNA hybridization experiments...
