| identification of bacterial contaminants in polyherbal medicines used for the treatment of tuberculosis in amatole district of the eastern cape province, south africa, using rapid 16s rrna technique. | polyherbal medicines are used for the treatment of many diseases in many african and asian communities. with the increasing use of these remedies, several investigations have shown that they are associated with a broad variety of residues and contaminants. this study investigates the presence of bacteria in the polyherbal medicines used for the treatment of tuberculosis (tb) in the eastern cape province of south africa. | 2016 | 27549141 |
| clostridium colicanis sp. nov., from canine faeces. | morphological, biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on an unknown, anaerobic, rod-shaped organism isolated from faeces of a canine. the organism was tentatively identified as a member of the genus clostridium based on its cellular morphology and ability to form endospores but, biochemically, it did not appear to correspond to any recognized species of this genus. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that the bacterium represents a previously unrecognized subline ... | 2003 | 12656182 |
| proposal to restrict the genus clostridium (prazmowski) to clostridium butyricum and related species. | the genus clostridium as presently constituted is phylogenetically and phenotypically incoherent. polyphasic taxonomic data indicate that the genus comprises a collection of very heterogeneous species. numerous phylogenetic studies, principally based on sequencing of the 16s rrna gene indicate that the genus clostridium should be restricted to clostridium cluster i as clostridium sensu stricto. despite these findings, authors continue to add new species to the genus clostridium that do not fall ... | 2015 | 26643615 |
| eubacterium moniliforme bacteremia in a woman with fractures. | e. moniliforme infections in humans have not been reported previously. we firstly described blood-stream infections caused by e. moniliforme in an elder woman with fractures of her left thigh. this study highlights the strategies to detect this anaerobic pathogen and the importance of investigating its molecular epidemiology in humans. | 2017 | 29035441 |
