متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Gordonia terrae 3612
Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Gordonia terrae 3612, also known by the strain designations ATCC 25594, NRRL B-16283, and NBRC 100016. The genome sequence reveals it to be free of prophage and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), and it is an effective host for the isolation and characterization of Gordonia bacteriophages.
متن کاملHickman catheter-related bacteremia caused by Gordonia sputi in a patient with breast cancer.
The case of a Hickman catheter-related bacteremia caused by Gordonia sputi in a patient with breast cancer is presented. Blood cultures grew a Gram-positive rod, susceptible to several antimicrobials, subsequently identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Gordonia sputi. The infection resolved after successful treatment with antibiotics and catheter removal.
متن کاملGordonia terrae: a difficult-to-diagnose emerging pathogen?

We found it of interest to report a similar experience of misidentification of this bacteria in a different but also unexpected clinical setting. A 41-year-old woman without a medical history presented with a palpebral abscess unsuccessfully treated with local fusidic acid for 1 week. Tw...
