streptococcus ovis sp. nov., isolated from sheep. | seven strains of an unknown gram-positive catalase-negative chain-forming coccus-shaped organism isolated from clinical specimens from sheep were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the bacterium represents a new sub-line within the genus streptococcus. the unknown bacterium was readily distinguished from recognized streptococcal species by biochemical tests and electrophoretic analysis of whole-cell proteins ... | 2001 | 11411683 |
streptococcus rupicaprae sp. nov., isolated from a pyrenean chamois (rupricapra pyrenaica). | biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on an unknown gram-positive catalase-negative coccus-shaped organism isolated from clinical samples of a pyrenean chamois. the microorganism was identified as a streptococcal species based on its cellular morphological and biochemical tests. 16s rrna gene sequence comparison studies confirmed its identification as a member of the genus streptococcus, but the organism did not correspond to any species of this genus. the nearest phylogenetic ... | 2010 | 20851916 |
streptococcus minor sp. nov., from faecal samples and tonsils of domestic animals. | nine isolates, which were obtained from tonsils, anal swabs and faeces of dogs and from tonsils of a cat and a calf, constituted a homogeneous but unidentified taxon after screening with trna intergenic length polymorphism analysis and whole-cell protein fingerprinting. 16s rdna sequence analysis classified representative strains in the genus streptococcus. highest sequence similarity (95.9 %) was obtained with streptococcus ovis. growth characteristics, biochemical features, dna-dna hybridizati ... | 2004 | 15023958 |
streptococcus gallinaceus sp. nov., from chickens. | three isolates of an unknown gram-positive, catalase-negative, chain-forming, coccus-shaped organism isolated from an outbreak of septicaemia in a flock of adult broiler parents were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the bacterium represents a new subline within the genus streptococcus, related to, albeit distinct from, streptococcus acidominimus, streptococcus ovis, streptococcus suis and close relatives. ... | 2002 | 12148622 |
streptococcus tangierensis sp. nov. and streptococcus cameli sp. nov., two novel streptococcus species isolated from raw camel milk in morocco. | biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on two unidentified gram-stain positive, catalase and oxidase negative, non-hemolytic streptococcus-like organisms recovered from raw camel milk in morocco. phenotypic characterization and comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing demonstrated that the two strains were highly different from each other and that they did not correspond to any recognized species of the genus streptococcus. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences sho ... | 2015 | 25491120 |
streptococcal endocarditis in a captive southern white rhinoceros (ceratotherium simum simum). | postmortem examination of a 43-yr-old male southern white rhinoceros (ceratotherium simum simum) revealed gross lesions and histopathologic findings consistent with endocarditis. the animal was born in umfolozi national park, south africa, and then it was moved at 2 yr of age to two successive european zoologic collections. for several weeks prior to death, the animal was increasingly recumbent or assuming a dog-sitting position. postmortem examination revealed cutaneous pressure sores and multi ... | 2014 | 25314832 |
