| corynebacterium coyleae sp. nov., isolated from human clinical specimens. | over a 5-year period, six isolates of a previously unknown nonlipophilic coryneform bacterium were isolated from human clinical specimens. the most characteristic phenotypic reactions of these isolates included slow fermentative acid production from glucose but no acid production from maltose and sucrose and a strongly positive camp reaction. chemotaxonomic investigations revealed that meso-diaminopimelic acid and mycolic acids were present, that palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids were the predo ... | 1997 | 8995809 |
| multicenter evaluation of the updated and extended api (rapid) coryne database 2.0. | in a multicenter study, 407 strains of coryneform bacteria were tested with the updated and extended api (rapid) coryne system with database 2.0 (biomérieux, la-balme-les-grottes, france) in order to evaluate the system's capability of identifying these bacteria. the design of the system was exactly the same as for the previous api (rapid) coryne strip with database 1.0, i.e., the 20 biochemical reactions covered were identical, but database 2.0 included both more taxa and additional differentia ... | 1997 | 9399506 |
| species identification of corynebacteria by cellular fatty acid analysis. | we evaluated the usefulness of cellular fatty acid analysis for the identification of corynebacteria. therefore, 219 well-characterized strains belonging to 21 corynebacterium species were analyzed with the sherlock system of midi (newark, de). most corynebacterium species have a qualitative different fatty acid profile. corynebacterium coyleae (subgroup 1), corynebacterium riegelii, corynebacterium simulans, and corynebacterium imitans differ only quantitatively. corynebacterium afermentans afe ... | 2006 | 16423489 |
| pancreatic abscess caused by corynebacterium coyleae mimicking malignant neoplasm. | a 50-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of postprandial epigastric pain and pancreatic head mass. on admission, an elastic hard mass with tenderness was palpable in the epigastric region. laboratory findings showed no abnormalities, except for a slightly elevated c-reactive protein value and iron deficiency anemia. serum levels of pancreatic enzymes and tumor markers were also within the reference range. computed tomography (ct) demonstrated a 5-cm heterogenous mass at the head ... | 2006 | 17079950 |
| the isolation of corynebacterium coyleae from clinical samples: clinical and microbiological data. | fourteen corynebacterium coyleae isolates were recovered from 12 in-patients during a 5-years period. in six patients, the isolates were considered as clinically significant, three definite (sepsis), two probable (sepsis and soft tissue infection), and one possible (post-transfusional bacteremia). in the remaining 6 patients (all neonatal bacteremias), there was not enough data for considering the isolates as clinical significant. api coryne identified all isolates as c. jeikeium, while biolog g ... | 2008 | 17992547 |
| in vitro activity of tigecycline and 10 other antimicrobials against clinical isolates of the genus corynebacterium. | we studied the in vitro activity of tigecycline and 10 other commonly used antibiotics against 135 clinical isolates of non-diphtheria corynebacterium spp. using the etest system. tigecycline minimum inhibitory concentrations for 50% and 90% of the organisms (mic(50) and mic(90) values, respectively, in mg/l) were: corynebacterium urealyticum, 0.094 and 0.125; corynebacterium amycolatum, 0.125 and 2; corynebacterium jeikeium, 0.094 and 0.75; corynebacterium coyleae, 0.064 and 0.064; corynebacter ... | 2009 | 19153032 |
| high frequency of macrolide resistance mechanisms in clinical isolates of corynebacterium species. | the genus corynebacterium includes a high number of species that are usually isolated from human skin as saprophytes. however, these microorganisms have also been reported as infectious agents in a broad group of patients and have showed broad-spectrum resistance. we studied the susceptibility profiles against macrolides, clindamycin, and streptogramins of 254 clinical strains belonging to the species corynebacterium urealyticum (120), corynebacterium amycolatum (66), corynebacterium jeikeium (1 ... | 2010 | 20624090 |
