  Fig. 1 Colonial and microscopic morphology of Cedecea lapagei. (A) Neutrophil containing intracellular gram-negative coccobacilli from smear preparation of the sputum sample (Gram stain, ×1,000). (B) White colored and non-hemolytic colonies on blood agar plate after 48 hr of incubation at 35℃ with 5% CO2. (C) Gram-negative coccobacilli from blood agar plate smear preparation (Gram stain, ×1,000).

  Fig. 2 Neighbor-joining phylogenetic trees based on partial 16S rRNA (1,300 bp) and dnaJ (719 bp) gene sequences of rare Enterobacteriaceae strains. (A) Phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene showed that Cedecea lapagei has 16S rRNA gene intra-species heterogeneity. (B) Phylogenetic tree of dnaJ gene showed that this isolate was most closely related to C. lapagei (AB272620).
