tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens sp. nov.chemotaxonomic and 16s ribosomal dna sequence analyses of four bacterial isolates from blood cultures from patients with cardiac pacemaker implants and sputa of patients with chronic lung infections clearly demonstrated that these bacteria belong to the genus tsukamurella. dna-dna hybridization data, as well as the physiological characteristics of the isolates, indicate that they are closely related and belong to a single species that differs from previously described members of the genus tsukam ...19979226890
tsukamurella conjunctivitis: a novel clinical syndrome.in this report, we describe the first three cases of tsukamurella conjunctivitis in the literature. all three patients presented with congestion of one eye with small amounts of serous discharge for 1 to 2 days. all three recovered after 10 days of treatment with polymyxin b-neomycin or chloramphenicol eyedrops. sequencing of the 16s rrna genes of the three isolates recovered from the serous discharge of the three patients showed that they were all tsukamurella species. the phenotypic characteri ...200312843095

isolation and identification of dibutyl phthalate-degrading bacteria from hydrospheres in tokyo.dibutyl phthalate (dbp) is used widely as a plasticizer and is thought to negatively affect various organisms. to isolate and investigate dbp-degrading bacteria from hydrospheres in tokyo, strains were selected on ynb medium containing dbp as the sole carbon source, and candidate strains were identified by zones of clearing around the colonies. degradation of dbp by the strains was subsequently measured with hplc, and bacterial identification was accomplished using 16s rdna sequences. nineteen s ...200919700919

brain abscess caused by tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens in an immunocompetent patient.we describe a previously healthy patient with chronic otitis media complicated with cerebellar abscess caused by tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens. the organism was identified based on conventional biochemical identification methods, pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the hsp65 gene, and 16s rrna gene sequencing. the patient was treated successfully with debridements and prolonged antibiotic therapy.200919297591
tsukamurella soli sp. nov., isolated from soil.a gram-positive, rod-shaped, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, white-coloured bacterium, designated strain js18-1(t), was isolated from a soil sample collected from halla mountain, jeju island, korea. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed that the strain was most closely related to members of the genus tsukamurella with levels of sequence similarity of 95.4-96.5 %. strain js18-1(t) shared highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity with tsukamurella strandjordii dsm 44573(t) (96.5 %), tsukam ...201019734289
tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens and rhizobium radiobacter sepsis presenting with septic pulmonary emboli.clin microbiol infect abstract: septic pulmonary embolism (spe) is an uncommon, but life-threatening event that is usually associated with extrapulmonary infections. we report the first case of bilateral spe secondary to a central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection involving pathogens commonly considered environmental contaminants: tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens and rhizobium radiobacter. empirical levofloxacin treatment was confirmed by in vitro susceptibility data and produced prompt ...201020946410
clinical characteristics of infections caused by tsukamurella spp. and antimicrobial susceptibilities of the isolates.to investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of infections caused by tsukamurella spp., the computerised database of the bacteriology laboratory at national taiwan university hospital (taipei, taiwan) was reviewed retrospectively to identify patients with infections caused by this species during the period january 1997 to december 2008. all of the isolates had been initially misidentified as rhodococcus spp. identification of tsukamurella isolates to species level was carried ...201122014886
tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens intravascular catheter-related bacteremia in a haematology patient: a case report.tsukamurella spp. are a rare but important cause of intravascular catheter-related bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. the organism is an aerobic, gram-positive, weakly acid-fast bacillus that is difficult to differentiate using standard laboratory methods from other aerobic actinomycetales such as nocardia spp., rhododoccus spp., gordonia spp., and the rapid growing mycobacterium spp. we report a case of tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens catheter-related bacteremia in a 51-year-old haematology ...201122195371
