| corynebacterium pseudogenitalium sp. nov. commensals of the human male and female urogenital tracts. | antisera to corynebacterium genitalium types c-1 to c-6 were prepared in rabbits and the titers of complement fixing antibodies to the homologous strains, to the heterologous strains, to c. genitalium types i to v, and to the reference species corynebacterium xerosis and corynebacterium minutissimum ascertained. five types stimulated low levels of cross-reacting antibodies to all corynebacteria tested including type c-3. in contrast the antiserum to type c-3 had antibodies to only two heterologo ... | 1979 | 429123 |
| evaluation of differential media for the identification of corynebacterium genitalium and corynebacterium pseudogenitalium (group jk corynebacteria). | tween purple agar containing 1% fructose (tfp agar) differentiated corynebacterium genitalium from c. pseudogenitalium, which respectively formed colorless and yellow colonies after 72 h incubation at 37 degrees c aerobically or in 5-10% co2 in air. thus tfp agar is a differential medium. corynebacteria-like colonies grown on nonspecific urethritis (nsu) chocolate agar from urogenital material were identified as c. genitalium, c. pseudogenitalium, or commensals when subcultured on tpf agar. tfp ... | 1985 | 3986712 |
| deoxyribonucleic acids of corynebacterium genitalium and corynebacterium pseudogenitalium: their genome molecular weights, base ratios, and dna relatedness with other corynebacteria involved in urinary tract infections. | chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acids of corynebacterium genitalium and corynebacterium pseudogenitalium were isolated and analysed spectrophotometrically. their genome molecular weights ranged from 1.1 x 10(9) to 1.6 x 10(9). the guanine-plus-cytosine content of c. genitalium ranged from 60.0 to 63.3%, whereas that of c. pseudogenitalium ranged from 56.1 to 58.7%. five strains of c. genitalium showed relatively low levels of dna relatedness to each other ranging from 35 to 64%. in contrast, most s ... | 1985 | 4092176 |
| relationship between group jk corynebacteria and the biotypes of corynebacterium genitalium and corynebacterium pseudogenitalium. | twenty-six strains of group jk corynebacteria had the same colonial morphology and biological reactions as the biotypes of the biovars of corynebacterium genitalium and c. pseudogenitalium. therefore, group jk corynebacteria can be assigned to the biovars of c. genitalium or c. pseudogenitalium. although the strains differed in sensitivity to 16 antibiotics tested by sensi-discs or by the micro-media technique, they are uniformly sensitive to 4-5 micrograms/ml of vancomycin. medium containing 10 ... | 1984 | 6498640 |
| preliminary study of the flora in the lower genital tracts of sexually active adolescent females in relation to symptoms and inflammatory response. | the lower genital tracts of 20 sexually active adolescent females were examined for the presence of mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasma urealyticum, corynebacterium genitalium, and corynebacterium pseudogenitalium. fifty percent of the asymptomatic adolescent females and 50% of the symptomatic adolescent females were colonized with m. hominis, which is higher than the percentage reported in adult females. none of the asymptomatic adolescent females and only 10% of the symptomatic adolescent females w ... | 1981 | 7333925 |
| genomic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among lipid-requiring diphtheroids from humans and characterization of corynebacterium macginleyi sp. nov. | dna relatedness experiments were performed with 38 clinical isolates and 13 reference strains of coryneform taxa exhibiting a lipid requirement for optimal growth. forty-five of these strains split into five genomic groups at the species level, whereas six other strains remained unclustered. genomospecies ii fits corynebacterium accolens, but the other genomospecies were not genetically related to any of the defined corynebacterium species. phylogenetic analyses of genes coding for small-subunit ... | 1995 | 7857793 |
| genomic diversity among corynebacterium jeikeium strains and comparison with biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibilities. | levels of dna relatedness were determined by performing dna-dna hybridization experiments (s1 nuclease procedure) with 13 human isolates exhibiting various antimicrobial susceptibility patterns which had been identified as corynebacterium jeikeium by classical tests and the api coryne system and with reference strains of c. jeikeium and related taxa. twelve of 13 isolates which formed three genomic groups showed between 22 and 75% relatedness with the type strain of c. jeikeium. one of these gen ... | 1994 | 7989533 |

| rapid paper disk test for identification of helicobacter pylori in mixed cultures of gerbil gastric homogenates. | a method denominated rapid paper disk test (rpdt) was developed to identify h. pylori colonies in complex cultures obtained from gerbil gastric homogenates. identification is based on a characteristic reaction pattern (rp) for h. pylori colonies given by the combination of the urease-oxidase activities on a paper disk. compared to the rps obtained from gerbil's intestinal tract isolated bacteria, h. pylori rp is completely distinguishable, even from those of bacteria that share one or both activ ... | 2010 | 20624429 |
