| phylogenetic analysis of species of the meso-diaminopimelic acid-containing genera brevibacterium and dermabacter. | 16s rrna gene sequencing studies were performed on dermabacter hominis and four meso-diaminopimelic acid-containing species of the genus brevibacterium. phylogenetic analysis revealed a close association between dermabacter hominis and representatives of the lysine-containing genera arthrobacter, micrococcus, and renibacterium. by contrast, the genus brevibacterium formed a distinct line of descent within the high-guanine-plus-cytosine-containing actinomycetes, displaying no specific affinity wi ... | 1994 | 7520745 |
| recognition of dermabacter hominis, formerly cdc fermentative coryneform group 3 and group 5, as a potential human pathogen. | thirty strains of fermentative coryneform-like bacteria designated cdc fermentative coryneform group 3 and coryneform group 5 were compared biochemically by cellular fatty acid analysis and by dna relatedness with the type strain of dermabacter hominis, atcc 49369. dna from 22 strains of both cdc groups showed 69 to 96% relatedness (hydroxyapatite method) to labeled dna from atcc 49369 and to dna from cdc group 3 strain g4964, and the strains are considered to belong to d. hominis. the remaining ... | 1994 | 7989543 |
