Genotypic diversity of clinical Actinomyces species: phenotype, source, and disease correlation among genospecies.
We determined the frequency distribution of Actinomyces spp. recovered in a routine clinical laboratory and investigated the clinical significance of accurate identification to the species level. We identified 92 clinical strains of Actinomyces, including 13 strains in the related Arcanobacterium-Actinobaculum taxon, by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and recorded their biotypes, sources, and d...
متن کاملGenospecies diversity of Lyme disease spirochetes in rodent reservoirs.
To determine whether particular Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. genospecies associate solely with rodent reservoir hosts, we compared the genospecies prevalence in questing nymphal Ixodes ticks with that in xenodiagnostic ticks that had fed as larvae on rodents captured in the same site. No genospecies was more prevalent in rodent-fed ticks than in questing ticks. The three main spirochete genospecie...
متن کاملEmended description of Actinomyces naeslundii and descriptions of Actinomyces oris sp. nov. and Actinomyces johnsonii sp. nov., previously identified as Actinomyces naeslundii genospecies 1, 2 and WVA 963
Actinomyces naeslundii is an important early colonizer in the oral biofilm and consists of three genospecies (1, 2 and WVA 963) which cannot be readily differentiated using conventional phenotypic testing or on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We have investigated a representative collection of type and reference strains and clinical and oral isolates (n=115) and determined the partial ge...
متن کاملGenotypic Diversity Is Associated with Clinical Outcome and Phenotype in Cryptococcal Meningitis across Southern Africa
Cryptococcal meningitis is a major cause of mortality throughout the developing world, yet little is known about the genetic markers underlying Cryptococcal virulence and patient outcome. We studied a cohort of 230 Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) isolates from HIV-positive South African clinical trial patients with detailed clinical follow-up using multi-locus sequence typing and in vitro phenotyp...
متن کاملGenotypic interactions among competing strains and species of Drosophila.
VIDENCE is accumulating to support the observation that the fitness of a E particular genotype in a given environment may be improved or impaired by the presence in that same environment of conspecific carriers of other genotypes. This has been shown in Drosophila pseudoobscura by LEVENE, PAVLOVSKY and DOBZ,HANSKY (1954), and BEARDMORE (1963) ; in D. melanogaster by LEWONTIN (1955) ; in D. busc...
