phase variation of pili of corynebacterium pilosum.	whether or not (?) phase variation occurs in the pili of corynebacterium pilosum was biologically examined using the colony enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) blot test with anti-pili immune serum. from the densely piliated clone (35p+) of c. pilosum 35, non-piliated variants were isolated at a frequency of 2.45 x 10(-3). from one of the non-piliated variants (designated as p(-11)/35p+), a piliated variant was isolated at a frequency of 4.68 x 10(-4), one log less frequently than the non- ...	1991	1679590
prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by corynebacterium pilosum.	a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by corynebacterium pilosum in a 79-year-old woman developed eighty years after aortic valve replacement with bovine pericardium bioprosthesis is described. in spite of the antibiotic therapy she presented an unfavourable course that led to her death.	1991	1917038
isolation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against pili of corynebacterium renale and corynebacterium pilosum.	five monoclonal antibodies against pili of corynebacterium renale 115 p+ (piliated clone) and two monoclonal antibodies against pili of c. pilosum 92 p+ (piliated clone) were produced. these antibodies bound to pili of the homologous strain in in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and agglutinated p+ but not p- (non-piliated clone) of each homologous strain. the five monoclonal antibodies against c. renale 115 p+ pili were divided into 2 groups, comprising 16/5, 160/1 and 32/6 and 13/4 an ...	1987	2433832
adhesion of corynebacterium pilosum by pili to epithelial cells of bovine vulva.	piliated (p+) and nonpiliated (p-) clones of corynebacterium pilosum were selected, and their adhesion to the epithelial cells of the bovine vulva and vaginal vestibule was examined. the number of p+ bacteria of c pilosum that adhered to vulval epithelial cells was greater than that of p- bacteria. the adhesion of p+ bacteria, but not p- bacteria, to the epithelial cells was inhibited by the antipilus antiserum; therefore, the adhesion of c pilosum to the epithelial cells of the vulva was primar ...	1985	2859821
comparison of surface hydrophobicity of piliated and non-piliated clones of corynebacterium renale and corynebacterium pilosum.	piliated (p+) and non-piliated (p-) clones of corynebacterium renale and c. pilosum were similar in hydrophobicity as measured by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, bacterial adherence to hydrocarbons and the salt aggregation test. therefore, the previously reported adherence of p+ clone to various cells, which is more effective than that of p- clone, may be uncorrelated with the degree of hydrophobicity of both clones of these bacteria. hydrophobicity of p+ and p- clones was found to be hi ...	1987	2889288
adhesion of corynebacterium renale and corynebacterium pilosum to epithelial cells of bovine vulva.	corynebacterium renale and c pilosum adhered effectively to the epithelial cells of the bovine vulva; the numbers of these organisms that adhered to the vulval epithelial cells were 50 and 30/cell, respectively, which were several times as many as those that adhered to the uroepithelial cells. of the epithelial cells of the vulva, cornified cells lacking nuclei bound more bacteria than did those with indistinct nuclei, indicating that adhesion of bacteria was most effective to the most aged cell ...	1985	3994106
adhesion of corynebacterium renale and corynebacterium pilosum to the epithelial cells of various parts of the bovine urinary tract from the renal pelvis to vulva.	the various parts of the bovine urinary tract, the renal pelvis, the ureter, the urinary bladder, the urethra, the vaginal vestibule and the vulva, were examined for the capacity of the epithelial cells to bind corynebacterium renale and c. pilosum. c. renale adhered best to the epithelial cells of the vulva, and then to those of the ureter and renal pelvis. c. pilosum also adhered best to the epithelial cells of the vulva, followed by those of the vaginal vestibule. the results indicate that th ...	1985	4002609
survival of corynebacterium renale, corynebacterium pilosum and corynebacterium cystitidis in soil.	survival of the causative agents of bovine pyelonephritis, corynebacterium renale, c. pilosum and c. cystitidis, was examined at 30 degrees c in autoclaved soil. in the soil from a paddock, c. renale and c. cystitidis survived for 56 and 63 days, respectively, and c. pilosum for a longer period of at least 210 days. in soil from a pasture, sand from an athletic field and sea sand, the survival of these bacteria was of shorter duration.	1985	4035958
adhesion of corynebacterium renale, corynebacterium pilosum, and corynebacterium cystitidis to bovine urinary bladder epithelial cells of various ages and levels of differentiation.	the adhesion of corynebacterium renale, corynebacterium pilosum, and corynebacterium cystitidis to various epithelial cell layers of bovine urinary bladders was examined. adhesion was most efficient to the urinary sediment epithelial cells and the superficial cells immediately before shedding, followed by the remaining superficial cells and intermediate cells in this order, and least efficient to the deeper intermediate and basal cells. incubation of the intermediate cells for 6 h increased the ...	1982	7095847

isolation of corynebacterium pilosum and actinomyces pyogenes from cystitis and vulvovaginitis infection in a 2-month-old female calf.	cystitis and vulvovaginitits, due to corynebacterium pilosum and actinomyces pyogenes infection in a 2-month-old female calf, is described. the prominent clinical signs were urinary incontinence, adherence of triple phosphate crystals to the vulvar hair and ulceration on the vulva, the ventral side of the tail skin and the perineum. only a mild inflammation of the bladder mucosa and submucosa was seen on histological examination.	1999	10216455
a herd level analysis of urinary tract infection in dairy cattle.	cystitis, urethritis and pyelonephritis in cattle most commonly result from ascending urinary tract infection with corynebacterium renale, corynebacterium cystidis, corynebacterium pilosum or escherichia coli. we describe the clinical, bacteriological, clinical-pathological and epidemiological findings in a dairy cattle herd with urinary tract infection (uti). blood and urine samples from 17 calves and 19 cows were submitted to laboratory examinations. depression, muscle wasting, weakness and fr ...	2006	16310382

corynebacterium lubricantis sp. nov., isolated from a coolant lubricant.	three gram-positive, rod-shaped, oxidase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacteria (kss-3se(t), kss-4se and kss-10se) were isolated from a coolant lubricant. 16s rrna gene sequence analyses revealed almost identical sequences, with only a few (<10 positions) differences for these three isolates. comparisons showed the highest similarities to corynebacterium pilosum nctc 11862(t) (97.6 % similarity with strain kss-3se(t)). similarities with other established corynebacterium species were lo ...	2009	19406802
draft genome sequences of two pathogenic corynebacterial species isolated from cows.	the species corynebacterium renale, corynebacterium pilosum, and corynebacterium cystitidis were initially thought to be the same species c. renale, but with different immunological types. these bacteria are the causative agent of cystitis, urethritis and pyelonephritis and are found usually as constituents of the normal flora in the lower urogenital tract of cattle. therefore, we present the draft genome sequences of two pathogenic corynebacterium species: c. renale cip 52.96 and c. pilosum cip ...	2016	26958092
