| moraxella atlantae bacteraemia in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosis. | we describe the first reported case of human infection caused by moraxella atlantae (formerly known as cdc group m-3) and its successful treatment with intravenous cefuroxime. the isolation and identification of this species, as well as the pathogenesis of the infection, are discussed. it is recommended that isolates of moraxella species be speciated so that the epidemiological characteristics and pathogenesis of the infections caused by the various species may be understood more completely. | 1991 | 1753122 |
| relatedness of three species of "false neisseriae," neisseria caviae, neisseria cuniculi, and neisseria ovis, by dna-dna hybridizations and fatty acid analysis. | dna-dna hybridization was used to determine the levels of genomic relatedness of the three species of "false neisseriae," neisseria caviae, neisseria cuniculi, and neisseria ovis. the reference strains of these species exhibited high levels of intraspecies relatedness (93 to 100% for n. caviae, 79 to 100% for n. cuniculi, and 68 to 100% for n. ovis) but low levels of interspecific relatedness (less than 34%) to each other and to various species belonging to the beta subclass of the proteobacteri ... | 1993 | 8494736 |
| phylogeny of the family moraxellaceae by 16s rdna sequence analysis, with special emphasis on differentiation of moraxella species. | thirty-three strains previously classified into 11 species in the bacterial family moraxellaceae were subjected to phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna sequences. the family moraxellaceae formed a distinct clade consisting of four phylogenetic groups as judged from branch lengths, bootstrap values and signature nucleotides. group i contained the classical moraxellae and strains of the coccal moraxellae, previously known as branhamella, with 16s rrna similarity of > or = 95%. a further divisio ... | 1998 | 9542079 |
| bacteremia due to moraxella atlantae in a cancer patient. | a gram-negative alkaline phosphatase- and pyrrolidone peptidase-positive rod-shaped bacterium (ccug 45702) was isolated from two aerobic blood cultures from a female cancer patient. no identification could be reached using phenotypic techniques. amplification of the trna intergenic spacers revealed fragments with lengths of 116, 133, and 270 bp, but no such pattern was present in our reference library. sequencing of the 16s rrna gene revealed its identity as moraxella atlantae, a species isolate ... | 2002 | 12089312 |
| bacteremia and bone marrow infection caused by moraxella atlantae in an elderly patient with pneumonia. | the clinical manifestations of moraxella atlantae infection were rarely described. here we reported an elderly pneumonia patient with moraxella atlantae infection and the detailed clinical manifestations were firstly described. a bacterial automatic identification system in combination with phenotypic methods can be routinely used to identify this pathogen. if possible, 16s rdna gene sequencing is also an alternative and effective method. | 2016 | 28164552 |
