staphylococcus pasteuri-specific oligonucleotide probes derived from a random amplified dna fragment.	a rapid polymerase chain reaction method was developed to differentiate staphylococcus pasteuri from other staphylococcal species, especially the phenotypically similar s. warneri. the oligonucleotide probes used as primers were designed from the sequence of a s. pasteuri random amplified polymorphic dna fragment.	1995	7590156
staphylococcus pasteuri sp. nov., isolated from human, animal, and food specimens.	a new novobiocin-susceptible species of the genus staphylococcus, staphylococcus pasteuri, is described on the basis of the results of a study of seven strains isolated from human, animal, and food specimens. dna relatedness experiments (s1 nuclease method) showed that these strains form a homogeneous genomic species related at dna homology levels of 2 to 13% to 27 type strains representing known staphylococcus species. the use of a method based on rrna gene restriction site polymorphism provide ...	1993	8098615
microorganisms cultured from stratospheric air samples obtained at 41 km.	samples of air removed from the stratosphere, at an altitude of 41 km, were previously found to contain viable, but non-cultureable bacteria (cocci and rods). here, we describe experiments aimed at growing these, together with any other organisms, present in these samples. two bacteria (bacillus simplex and staphylococcus pasteuri) and a single fungus, engyodontium album (limber) de hoog were isolated from the samples. although the possibility of contamination can never be ruled out when space-d ...	2003	12583913
identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci other than staphylococcus epidermidis by automated ribotyping.	as routine identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci is problematic, the performance of automated ribotyping was evaluated for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci other than staphylococcus epidermidis. in total, 177 isolates were tested, comprising 149 isolates from blood samples, 15 isolates that were not identified by internal transcribed spacer (its)-pcr in a previous study, and 13 reference strains. the identification results were compared with those obtained by the a ...	2005	15715714
developing microbial spoilage population in vacuum-packaged charcoal-broiled european river lamprey (lampetra fluviatilis).	microbiological and sensory changes in vacuum-packaged charcoal-broiled river lampreys from three lamprey processing plants were monitored as a function of time at 8 degrees c. the lampreys were examined every 7 days up to 8 weeks for aerobic plate count (apc) and lactic acid bacteria (lab). the highest mean apc and lab were 6.01 log cfu/g and 4.86 log cfu/g, respectively. only 6 out of 15 lots reached an apc value of 7.0 log cfu/g during storage. the sensory scores remained at the baseline leve ...	2004	15862876
