The genus corynebacterium and other medically relevant coryneform-like bacteria.
Catalase-positive Gram-positive bacilli, commonly called "diphtheroids" or "coryneform" bacteria were historically nearly always dismissed as contaminants when recovered from patients, but increasingly have been implicated as the cause of significant infections. These taxa have been underreported, and the taxa were taxonomically confusing. The mechanisms of pathogenesis, especially for newly de...
متن کاملAromatic aminotransferases in coryneform bacteria.
Species of coryneform bacteria (Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium flavum, and B. ammoniagenes) are capable of transaminating all three of the aromatic pathway intermediates; prephenate, phenylpyruvate, and 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate. Two molecular species of aromatic aminotransferase (denoted aminotransferase I and aminotransferase II) were partially purified from C. glutamicum and B. fl...
متن کاملNumerical taxonomy of certain coryneform bacteria.
da Silva, G. A. Nigel (Iowa State University, Ames), and John G. Holt. Numerical taxonomy of certain coryneform bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 90:921-927. 1965-An electronic computer was used to sort 32 strains of coryneforms into groups with the tree-sort program. The similarity values obtained in this procedure were then used to construct a dendrogram depicting the phenetic resemblance among the tax...
متن کاملImportance of Coryneform Bacteria in Infective Endocarditis
Coryneform bacteria have been defined as non-sporing Gram-positive rods with an irregular outline.1 Almost all can be grown aerobically and assigned to the class Actinobacteria which are characterized by a high guaninecytosine content (>50%) and specific 16S rDNA signature nucleotides.2 Some of the genera in this class are environmental bacteria but some (e.g., Actinomyces, Brevibacterium, Cory...
متن کاملIsoprenoid quinones in the classification of coryneform and related bacteria.
Menaquinones were the only isoprenoid quinones found in 85 of the 95 coryneform bacteria examined. Dihydromenaquinones having nine isoprene units were the main components isolated from Corynebacterium bovis, from other glutamic acid-producing strains, and from Arthrobacter globiformis and related species. Dihydromenaquinones with eight isoprene units were found in Brevibacterium linens, the rem...
