| cytologic manifestation of an unusual bacterial form, simonsiella species. | puzzling rodlike structures overlying benign squamous cells in exfoliative cytologic specimens from the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts were initially considered to be fungi, protozoa, bronchodilator crystals, hemoglobin tactoids or plastic fragments. their morphologic similarity to simonsiella, a gram-negative bacteria frequently found in the oral cavity, was ultimately recognized. further studies of smears and cultures obtained from the oral cavities of the authors and from the a ... | 1988 | 2456653 |
| a stable variant of simonsiella muelleri with unusual colonial and cellular morphology. | the unusual morphology and cellular arrangement of a member of the genus simonsiella is described. the organism is characterized by the formation of very long trichomes, which can be greater than 1,000 microns in length. | 1990 | 2307662 |
| incidence of simonsiella in the oral cavity of dogs. | the gliding bacterium simonsiella (cytophagales, simonsiellaceae) was found in palate samples from 66 out of 67 dogs. it is considered a common resident in the oral cavities of dogs. | 1977 | 886011 |
| dorsal-ventral differentiation in simonsiella and other aspects of its morphology and ultrastructure. | the morphology and ultrastructure of the aerobic, gram-negative multicellular-filamentous bacteria of the genus simonsiella were investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. the flat, ribbon-shaped, multicellular filaments show dorsal-ventral differentiation with respect to their orientations to solid substrata. the dorsal surface, orientated away from the substrate, is convex and possesses an unstructured capsule. the ventral surface, on which the organisms adhere and glide, i ... | 1977 | 879961 |
| isolation, characterization, and numerical taxonomy of simonsiella strains from the oral cavities of cats, dogs, sheep, and humans. | forty-nine strains of the gliding prokaryote simonsiella were isolated from the oral cavities of cats (8), dogs (19), sheep (4), and humans (18) in southern california by a direct isolation procedure using a complex serum-enriched medium. the numerical taxonomic analysis (unweighted pair-group method using arithmetric averages) of 57 differential traits for each strain was based on standard bacteriological diagnostic tests and included the molar guanine-plus-cytosine contents of the dna and the ... | 1978 | 697509 |
| fatty acid composition of simonsiella strains. | gas-liquid chromatography of methyl esters of bound fatty acids extracted from the cells of 48 simonsiella strains showed that these aerobic, gliding, multicellular-filamentous bacteria have fatty acid profiles of the pattern considered typical of gram-negative eubacteria. all strains contained predominantly tetradecanoic acid (29.5%), 9-hexadecenoic acid (22.2%), an unidentified acid with an equivalent chain length of approximately 20 carbon atoms (15.8%), and dodecanoic acid (11.4%). discrimin ... | 1977 | 560178 |
| deoxyribonucleic acid base composition of simonsiellaceae. | the molar percentages of guanine plus cytosine in the dna of 51 strains of simonsiellaceae were determined by buoyant density ultracentrifugation of cell lysates in cscl. the dna base ratios ranged from 41-55 mole-% guanine plus cytosine. these values fall within the range known for the order cytophagales, the non-fruiting gliding bacteria, and are outside the range of the order myxobacterales, the fruiting myxobacteria. among the strains of the genus simonsiella, four distinct group can be deli ... | 1977 | 406870 |
| the chance identification of unusual-appearing bacteria in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. | background: a well-known indication for the cytologic examination of bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) fluid is the identification of infectious organisms. however, an important distinction must be made as to whether the organisms seen represent a true opportunistic lower respiratory tract infection or a non-pathologic contamination. case: we describe herein the case of a 13-month-old male infant who presented with persistent chest congestion and tracheobronchitis and who underwent bal as part of his ... | 2012 | 22236754 |
| bacterial population dynamics in a reverse-osmosis water purification system determined by fluorescent staining and pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. | the bacterial population dynamics in an industrial scale reverse-osmosis (ro) water purification system were analyzed by fluorescent staining methods and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge). bacterial numbers increased with storage in a tank, and bacterial diversity changed during the water purification process. a dna sequence-based analysis of the major bands on the dgge gel revealed that simonsiella sp.
