| diphtheroids-important nosocomial pathogens. | diphtheroids are defined as aerobic, non-sporulating, pleomorphic gram-positive bacilli which are more uniformly stained than corynebacterium diphtheriae, lack the metachromatic granules and are arranged in a palisade manner. they are usually commensals of the skin and mucous membranes. they differ from c.diphtheriae in biochemical rea-ctions as well as in toxin production. since, they are usually found as commensals on the skin, they are often considered as mere contaminants when isolated from ... | 2016 | 28208859 |
| two rep genes in small cryptic plasmid pkst21 of escherichia coli. | the complete nucleotide sequence of a small cryptic plasmid pkst21 from escherichia coli was determined. this plasmid is 1,460 bp long with an overall gc content of 51 %. based on sequence analysis, the presence of two segments with different average gc density was observed. the segment with higher gc content revealed 98-90 % similarity to several small plasmids of e. coli and to pcr1 from gram-positive corynebacterium renale. plasmid pkst21 possesses two conversely oriented open reading frames ... | 2013 | 23680975 |
