Numerical and chemical classification of Nocardia amarae.
Twenty-one strains of Nocardia amarae and marker cultures of Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus and the 'aurantiaca' taxon were subjected to numerical phenetic analyses using 92 unit characters. The data were examined using the simple matching (SSM), Jaccard (SJ) and pattern (DP) coefficients and clustering was achieved using the unweighted average linkage algorithm. Neither cluster nor aggre...
متن کاملExtracellular Bacterial Pathogen Induces Host Cell Surface Reorganization to Resist Shear Stress
Bacterial infections targeting the bloodstream lead to a wide array of devastating diseases such as septic shock and meningitis. To study this crucial type of infection, its specific environment needs to be taken into account, in particular the mechanical forces generated by the blood flow. In a previous study using Neisseria meningitidis as a model, we observed that bacterial microcolonies for...
متن کاملFatal Nocardia cyriacigeorgica spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
We report the first case of fatal spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and fulminant hepatitis caused by Nocardia cyriacigeorgica in a patient with hepatitis C-related liver cirrhosis.
متن کاملImpact of flow on ligand-mediated bacterial flocculation.
To understand the adhesion-fragmentation dynamics of bacterial aggregates (i.e., flocs), we model the aggregates as two ligand-covered rigid spheres. We develop and investigate a model for the attachment/detachment dynamics in a fluid subject to a homogeneous planar shear-flow. The binding ligands on the surface of the flocs experience attractive and repulsive surface forces in an ionic medium ...
متن کاملStructure of exocellular polymers and their relationship to bacterial flocculation.
Several gram-negative, polarly flagellated rods were isolated on the basis of their flocculent growth habit. Some of the isolates possessed a capsular matrix which is composed of exocellular fibrils. Other isolates did not appear to have a capsular matrix when examined with a bright-field microscope with or without the aid of stains. However, these latter type isolates did possess exocellular m...
