Anaerococcus pacaensis strain 9403502(T), is the type strain of Anaerococcus pacaensis sp. nov., a new species within a new genus Anaerococcus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from a blood sample. A. pacaensis strain 9403502(T) is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive coccus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and a...

We report a case of synovitis in a 64-year-old man who developed the infection while on steroid therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. Dolosigranulum pigrum, a gram-positive catalase-negative coccus, was isolated from two sets of blood cultures prior to antibiotic therapy. The patient was treated with 4 weeks of appropriate antibiotics, and the synovial inflammation resolved. Although synovial aspir...

Peptococcus magnus is a biochemically inactive anaerobic Gram-positive coccus similar in morphology to the staphylococcus. It has been found (Smith, 1975) as part of the normal flora of the mouth, vagina, and skin. Previous reports (Pien et al., 1972; Spaulding et al., 1974) have described significant infections with this organism, but knowledge of its pathogenicity is incomplete since speciati...

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS A collection of novel N-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-one oximes 28-32 are synthesized, characterized by melting point, elemental analysis, MS, FT-IR, one-dimensional NMR (1H & 13C) and two dimensional Noesy spectroscopic data and evaluate for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Compound 32, exerted a wide range of...

S treptococcus suis is a gram-positive coccus, possessing cell wall antigenic determinants related to Lancefield group D, although it is genetically unrelated to other members of this group, such as enterococci. Streptococcus suis is a capsulated bacterium, with the composition of the capsule defining the serotype. There are presently 35 capsular types or serotypes. The original classification ...

Introduction: Hand bag (HB) is commonly used multipurpose personal gadget of female. Objective: To identify the bacteria growth in HBs. Setting: Department of Microbiology, GSL Medical College, Rajahmundry. Methods: Internal area of the HB was swabbed by using a sterile swab and inoculated in blood agar, MacConkey agar and Nutrient agar. After incubation growth was identified. Results: Out of 3...

Brevibacterium spp. are aerobic, nonbranched, asporogenous, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria which may exhibit a rod-coccus cycle when cells get older and can be found in various environments. ​Several Brevibacterium species have industrial importance and are capable of biotransformation of various contaminants. Here we describe the draft genome sequence of Brevibacterium epidermidis EZ-K02 i...

Six strains of a hitherto undescribed gram-positive, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic coccus isolated from human sources were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the unknown strains were genealogically identical and constitute a new subline within the genus Gemella. The unknown bacterium was readil...

This should prove a distinctly useful little book. The opening chapters deal with the anatomy of the urethra, history and bacteriology of gonorrhoea. The last chapter contains many quotations from Carl C. Warden's work on the gonococcus which is against a good deal of the generally accepted views on the subject. The morphology of the gonococcus is shown to be of great variability, his experienc...

Streptococcus iniae is a beta-hemolytic, Gram-positive coccus, which affects a broad range of freshwater and marine fish species, causing substantial economic losses in the aquaculture industry worldwide. Thus, it is very important to derive a complete genome sequence of the bacterium to aid in the development of vaccines and methods for preventing fish streptococcosis and zoonotic infections i...
