| peptostreptococcus canis sp. nov., isolated from subgingival plaque from canine oral cavity. | a polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on two strains of an unknown gram-positive, asaccharolytic, nonspore-forming, obligately anaerobic coccus-shaped bacterium isolated from oral subgingival plaque of labrador retriever dogs. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing confirmed that these isolates were highly related to each other and formed a hitherto unknown linage within the clostridial rrna xi cluster of organisms. pairwise analysis demonstrated that the novel organism to be most closely rel ... | 2012 | 23131868 |
