Antigenic distinctiveness of Mobiluncus curtisii and Mobiluncus mulieris.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 26 Mobiluncus strains (17 M. curtisii and 9 M. mulieris strains) were compared serologically by double immunodiffusion and immunoblotting against antisera prepared against representative isolates of each species. All strains from the same species were strongly reactive with homologous antisera but generally weakly reactive with antisera to the heterologous Mobiluncus spp. The antisera did not react with strains of the unrelated genera Campylobacter, Succinivibrio, Wolinella, Actinomyces, Anaerobiospirillum, and Anaerovibrio.

Nitrocellulose filter blots for species identification of Mobiluncus curtisii and Mobiluncus mulieris.
Seventy strains of Mobiluncus, motile curved anaerobic bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis, were correctly identified to species level by using bacteria fixed to nitrocellulose and hybridized with 32P-labeled DNA.
متن کاملPhylogenetic evidence for the relationship between the genera Mobiluncus and Actinomyces.
Partial reverse transcriptase sequencing of 16S rRNA from Mobiluncus curtisii and M. mulieris clearly indicate that the genus Mobiluncus is not a member of the Bacteroidaceae but belongs to the order Actinomycetales. The highest degree of relationship is found with the genus Actinomyces which is supported by the presence of common physiological properties.
متن کاملSusceptibility of Mobiluncus species to 23 antimicrobial agents and 15 other compounds.
The susceptibility of 12 strains of Mobiluncus curtisii and 10 strains of M. mulieris to 23 antimicrobial agents and 15 other compounds was determined. All strains were susceptible to chloramphenicol, clindamycin, rifampin, tobramycin, vancomycin, virginiamycin, and all beta-lactam antibiotics tested, including imipenem. One strain of M. mulieris was resistant to erythromycin and josamycin. All...
متن کاملCharacterization of unusual tetracycline-resistant gram-positive bacteria.
Tetracycline-resistant Tet M-negative isolates of Actinomyces viscosus, Eubacterium lentum, Mobiluncus curtisii, and Mobiluncus mulieris were screened with the Tet K, Tet L, and Tet O DNA probes. Ten (71%) of the resistant Mobiluncus strains hybridized with the Tet O probe, two of the three E. lentum strains hybridized with the Tet K probe, and the A. viscosus isolate hybridized with the Tet L ...
متن کاملHumoral antibody to Mobiluncus curtisii, a potential serological marker for bacterial vaginosis.
While bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial syndrome, Mobiluncus spp. are the organisms most highly associated with this condition. It is possible that serum antibody to Mobiluncus spp. could be used as a serological marker for BV. Using immunofluorescence techniques, we studied the prevalence of antibody to M. curtisii among three cohorts-pregnant women, pediatric patients, and sexually ...
