<unk>  is a Gram negative rod shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature (e.g. fresh water, salt water, or soil). It may be normally present in fish and frogs but is not normally present in the human microflora. In 1959 American bacteriologist Elizabeth O. King (who isolated Kingella in 1960), was studying unclassified pediatric-meningitis associated bacteria  at the CDC in Atlanta, when she isolated an organism (CDC group IIa) that she named Flavobacterium<unk> m (Flavobacterium means "the yellow bacillus" in Latin;<unk> m likewise means "associated with meningitis and sepsis"). In 1994, it was reclassified in the genus Chryseobacterium and renamed Chryseobacterium<unk> m(chryseos = "golden" in Greek, so Chryseobacterium means a golden/yellow rod similar to Flavobacterium). In 2005, a 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree of Chrysobacteria showed that C.<unk> m along with C. miricola (which was reported to have been isolated from Russian space station Mir in 2001 and placed in the genus Chrysobacterium in 2003) were close to each other but outside the tree of the rest of the Chryseobacteria and were then placed in a new genus<unk>  named after the original discoverer of F.<unk> m.
