Streptomycetes
Streptomyces species are considered as saprophytic bacteria present in soil and decaying organic matter. However, they are found in water-damaged buildings where the occupants have become ill. The genus is considered an opportunistic pathogen causing infection. “This test is based on next-generation DNA sequencing, also known as 16S metagenomics. The test is based on the microbial identification of all bacteria in the sample.
The Streptomyces present in water-damaged building materials are diverse and include strains of the following species: iividans, anuiatus, diastatirus, aibidofiavusi virginiae and thermovulgaris (Pietarinen et al, 2008; Rintala et al, 2002).

Streptomycetes are known as indicators for moisture and mold damage in buildings and potential health risks, but their diversity in indoor environments is still unknown.
