| corynebacterium uropygiale sp. nov., isolated from the preen gland of turkeys (meleagris gallopavo). | a novel species of fastidious, lipophilic, club-shaped, gram-positive bacteria was recovered from the preen glands of healthy turkeys (meleagris gallopavo) from two different locations. phylogenetic analysis of the 16s rrna gene showed highest similarity to corynebacterium spheniscorum dsm 44757(t) (96.8%) with a 3.2kb stretch of rpob sharing 82.4% sequence similarity to the same species. dna fingerprinting by eric-pcr and polar lipid profiles clearly differentiated the turkey isolates from the ... | 2016 | 26776107 |
