Genome Sequence of Actinomyces naeslundii Strain ATCC 27039, Isolated from an Abdominal Wound Abscess
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Actinomyces naeslundii strain ATCC 27039, isolated from an abdominal wound abscess. This strain is genetically transformable and will thus provide valuable information related to its crucial role in oral multispecies biofilm development.

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...

Lactose-sensitive fimbriae were identified as the only fimbriae present on Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45 (ATCC 12104). A single antigen reactive with antiserum against WVU45 cells was detected by cross immunoelectrophoresis of isolated fimbriae, and a monospecific antiserum against this antigen reacted with all fimbriae observed on the bacterial surface by immunoelectron microscopy. Moreover, th...
متن کاملApplication of MLST and Pilus Gene Sequence Comparisons to Investigate the Population Structures of Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces oris
Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces oris are members of the oral biofilm. Their identification using 16S rRNA sequencing is problematic and better achieved by comparison of metG partial sequences. A. oris is more abundant and more frequently isolated than A. naeslundii. We used a multi-locus sequence typing approach to investigate the genotypic diversity of these species and assigned A. naes...
متن کاملNovel antigens of oral Actinomyces species prepared from a cell wall enzyme lysate.
Purified cell walls of Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii were solubilized by the enzymatic action of Ml N-acetylmuramidase. Soluble cell wall carbohydrate antigens were purified by column chromatography. A purified antigen preparation (fraction C) from A. viscosus ATCC 19246 was found to contain deoxyhexoses (rhamnose and 6-deoxytalose), hexosse (galactose, glucose and mannose), a...
متن کاملCharacterization of the binding of Actinomyces naeslundii (ATCC 12104) and Actinomyces viscosus (ATCC 19246) to glycosphingolipids, using a solid-phase overlay approach.
Actinomyces naeslundii (ATCC 12104) and Actinomyces viscosus (ATCC 19246) were radiolabeled externally (125I) or metabolically (35S) and analyzed for their ability to bind glycosphingolipids separated on thin layer chromatograms or coated in microtiter wells. Two binding properties were found and characterized in detail. (i) Both bacteria showed binding to lactosylceramide (LacCer) in a fashion...
