Identification and characterization of Moraxella phenylpyruvica.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eight strains of Moraxella phenylpyruvica have been isolated from clinical material in the United Kingdom, the first to be reported from this country. They were characterized, together with three strains of M. phenylpyruvica of the National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC), and compared with NCTC strains of eight other Moraxella species. The strains of M. phenylpyruvica formed a homogeneous group which is readily distinguishable from other Moraxella species. Deamination of phenylalanine is not restricted to M. phenylpyruvica which, however, is urease positive and is stimulated by bile, in contrast to other Moraxella spp.

Characterization and differentiation of 59 strains of Moraxella urethralis from clinical specimens.
The biochemical characteristics of 59 strains of Moraxella urethralis from clinical specimens, primarily from urine and the female genital tract, were studied. The characteristics included (i) the inability to acidify carbohydrate substrates, (ii) the ability to produce phenylalanine deaminase, (iii) the ability to reduce nitrite, (iv) the lack of urease activity, and (v) the ability of most st...
متن کاملUse of API NH system for identification of Moraxella catarrhalis.
Barbe and coworkers tested 318 isolates of Haemophilus and Neisseria species as well as Moraxella catarrhalis in an evaluation of the API NH kit in a study primarily addressing the ability of that kit to accurately identify organisms in its intended area of application (1). They found that only 1 of the 305 strains that were included in the kit database was identified incorrectly, and of the 13...
متن کاملThree Cases of Moraxella osloensis Meningitis: A Difficult Experience in Species Identification and Determination of Clinical Significance
We had three cases of Moraxella osloensis meningitis. The species identification was impossible by conventional and commercial phenotypic tests. However, we could identify the species using the 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Determination of clinical significance was difficult in one patient. All three patients recovered by appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
متن کاملCharacterization of Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis lbpB, lbpA, and lactoferrin receptor orf3 isogenic mutants.
Pathogenic members of the family Neisseriaceae produce specific receptors to acquire iron from their host's lactoferrin and transferrin. Recently, putative Moraxella catarrhalis lactoferrin receptor genes and a third open reading frame (lbpB, lbpA, and orf3) were cloned and sequenced. We describe the preliminary characterization of isogenic mutants deficient in LbpB, LbpA, or Orf3 protein.
متن کاملA fatal endocarditis case due to an emerging bacterium: Moraxella nonliquefaciens
Moraxella nonliquefaciens is a Gram-negative coccobacillus considered as a commensal organism from the upper respiratory tract, with low pathogenic potential. The phenotypical conventional identification is difficult and the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight technology has increased the resolution of identification of this bacterium. We report a fatal case of endocardit...
