An unknown Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from skin scrapings from the infected head of a sheep and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids and short-chain (C32-C36) mycolic acids consistent with the genus Corynebacterium. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the unkno...

Two unknown gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from a tortoise and a Scottish wild cat were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids and short-chain mycolic acids in the two isolates consistent with the genus Corynebacterium. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the unknown iso...

A phage, designated RP28, was obtained which carried out generalized transduction in Corynebacterium renale, and 11 different auxotrophic markers were all transduced.

abstract background: stphylococcus cohnii is an organism of coagulase negative species which is considered as normal flora. however, it has been isolated from urinary tract infections and surgical prostheses but its relation with staghorn stones has not been reported, yet. case presentation: a 50-years-old woman presented with left renal staghorn stone in june 2014. she had bilateral staghorn s...

OBJECTIVE A sonographically short cervix is a powerful predictor of spontaneous preterm delivery. However, the etiology and optimal management of a patient with a short cervix in the mid-trimester of pregnancy remain uncertain. Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) and intra-amniotic inflammation are frequently present in patients with spontaneous preterm labor or acute cervical insu...
