在美国威斯康星州爆发按蚊嗜热金蝇后，2016年6月至12月在希腊中部和北方的医院供水系统中进行了微生物检测的积极搜索。总共分析了来自11家医院的457个水样。黄喉盘菌属在从两家医院采集的三个样本中检测到，这两家医院都位于希腊北方。经鉴定，其中2株为按蚊嗜群菌（Escherichkingia anophelis）。2016年期间，两家医院均未报告嗜酸菌感染病例。这是希腊首次报道在供水系统中分离出病原体。
After the Elizabethkingia anophelis outbreak in Wisconsin, USA, an active search for the detection of the microorganism in hospital water systems from Central and Northern Greece was performed from June to December 2016. In total, 457 water samples from 11 hospitals were analyzed. Elizabethkingia spp. was detected in three samples collected from two hospitals, both of which are located in Northern Greece. Two of the three isolated strains were identified as Elizabethkingia anophelis. No cases of Elizabethkingia infection were reported in either hospital during 2016. This is the first reported isolation of the pathogen in water supply systems in Greece.
