Molecular identification of a Nocardiopsis dassonvillei blood isolate.

چکیده
Nocardiopsis dassonvillei is an environmental aerobic actinomycete seldom isolated in cutaneous and pulmonary infections. We herein report the first N. dassonvillei blood isolate in a patient hospitalized for cholangitis. Although morphological characteristics and biochemical tests allowed a presumptive identification of this isolate, cell wall fatty acid chromatographic analysis confirmed identification at the genus level, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing achieved definite identification. This study illustrates the usefulness of 16S rRNA gene sequencing as a routine method for the identification of actinomycetes.

In Vivo Pathogenicity of Actinomycetes (Nocardiopsis dassonvillei) spores on male albino rats
s: Nocardiopsis dassonvillei was isolated from the indoor air of critical areas of hospitals and its pathogenicity was evaluated in vivo. Male albino rats were injected I.P with Nocardiopsis dassonvillei spores (1×10 7 /rat ) for 2 weeks. Different changes in haematological and biochemical parameters after one and two weeks of actinomycete spores injection were assessed. Nocardiopsis infection ...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Nocardiopsis dassonvillei type strain (IMRU 509T)
Nocardiopsis dassonvillei (Brocq-Rousseau 1904) Meyer 1976 is the type species of the genus Nocardiopsis, which in turn is the type genus of the family Nocardiopsaceae. This species is of interest because of its ecological versatility. Members of N. dassonvillei have been isolated from a large variety of natural habitats such as soil and marine sediments, from different plant and animal materia...

The genus Nocardiopsis was shown to be phylogenetically coherent and to represent a distinct lineage within the radiation of the order Actinomycetales. The closest relatives of the genus Nocardiopsis are members of the genera Actinomadura, Thermomonospora, Streptosporangium, and Microtetraspora. The intrageneric structure of the genus Nucardiupsis is shown to consist of a highly related species...
متن کاملCloning, expression and characterization of a novel GH5 exo/endoglucanase of Thermobifida halotolerans YIM 90462(T) by genome mining.
The 1389-bp thcel5A gene, which encodes a family 5 of glycoside hydrolases (GH5), was screened from the draft genome of Thermobifida halotolerans YIM 90462(T). ThCel5A was most similar (77% identity) to a GH5 endoglucanase from Thermobifida fusca YX, followed by cellulases from Nocardiopsis dassonvillei subsp. dassonvillei DSM 43111, Nocardiopsis alba ATCC BAA-2165, and Kribbella flavida DSM 1783...

An alkaliphilic actinomycete strain, designated YIM 80379T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from the eastern desert of Egypt and subjected to polyphasic taxonomy. The strain produced substrate and aerial mycelia on different media, with an optimum pH for growth of 9.5-10 and scarce or no growth at pH 7. Strain YIM 80379T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, no diagnostic sugars, type P...
