متن کاملGenome of a chronic osteitis-causing Clostridium tetani
We sequenced the genome of a Clostridium tetani strain that caused chronic tibial osteitis without any clinical sign of tetanus in a 26-year-old man previously vaccinated against this disease. The genome contained a plasmid that harboured the tetX-tetR tetanospasmin operon, and was highly similar to that of a tetanus-causing strain.
متن کاملIsolation of Arcobacter skirrowii from a patient with chronic diarrhea.
The genus Arcobacter currently includes four species (7). Two species, Arcobacter cryaerophilus and Arcobacter butzleri, have been associated with human disease. They were mainly isolated from patients with diarrhea and bacteremia (2, 3, 6). Arcobacter nitrofigilis has been associated with roots of a salt marsh plant, Spartina alterniflora. The fourth species, Arcobacter skirrowii, has been rec...
متن کاملFirst Report of the Isolation of Nocardia thailandica from the Bronchoalveolar Lavage of a Patient in Iran
Nocardiae are Gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic, relatively slow-growing, and weakly acid-fast bacteria which cause nocardiosis in humans. We describe a 53-year-old patient with chronic bronchitis referred to Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan. A bronchial washing sample was taken from the patient. A Nocardia-like microorganism was detected in microscopic evaluation. Based on the phenotypic and 16S r...
