Interesting. I was doing some work for my former employer, we are trying to find RNA biomarkers in plasma from cancer patients that can be used for prognosis, diagnosis and/or treatment. One time I started to do a side project to see if I could find enterobacteria ribosomal fragments that could be different between patients x healthy donors. However, I found lots of nucleotide sequences that match soil bacteria. Delftia is not a weird name for me, I think that I found some, but it has been a while since then. At that time the people on top of me argued that was sample contamination, who knows right?

They are contaminants until they are not. That's how it usually goes.
