متن کاملMicrobacterium oleivorans sp. nov. and Microbacterium hydrocarbonoxydans sp. nov., novel crude-oil-degrading Gram-positive bacteria.
A taxonomic study of two crude-oil-degrading, Gram-positive bacterial strains, designated BAS69(T) and BNP48(T), revealed that they represent two novel Microbacterium species. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to their closest phylogenetic neighbours was 98.5 % for BAS69(T) (Microbacterium paraoxydans DSM 15019(T) and Microbacterium saperdae DSM 20169(T)) and 99 % for BNP48(T) (Microbacterium l...
متن کاملAnaerobic meningitis due to Peptostreptococcus species: case report and review.
We describe a patient with postsurgical anaerobic meningitis due to Peptostreptococcus magnus. In cases of meningitis associated with Peptostreptococcus species reported in the literature, the most common predisposing factors are meningorectal fistulae and head-and-neck surgery. Most patients respond well to appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Surgical intervention may be required in some instan...
