| biodegradation ability and catabolic genes of petroleum-degrading sphingomonas koreensis strain asu-06 isolated from egyptian oily soil. | polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are serious pollutants and health hazards. in this study, 15 pahs-degrading bacteria were isolated from egyptian oily soil. among them, one gram-negative strain (asu-06) was selected and biodegradation ability and initial catabolic genes of petroleum compounds were investigated. comparison of 16s rrna gene sequence of strain asu-06 to published sequences in genbank database as well as phylogenetic analysis identified asu-06 as sphingomonas koreensis. strai ... | 2014 | 25177681 |
| first report of sphingomonas koreensis as a human pathogen in a patient with meningitis. | sphingomonas koreensis is an aerobic gram-negative rod originally described in 2001 following isolation from natural mineral water in korea. here, we report a case study with sphingomonas koreensis as the causative agent of meningitis. to our knowledge, this is the first documented case of sphingomonas koreensis as a human pathogen. | 2015 | 25540396 |
| sphingomonas aerophila sp. nov. and sphingomonas naasensis sp. nov., isolated from air and soil, respectively. | two strains, designated 5413j-26(t) and kis18-15(t), were isolated from the air and forest soil, respectively, in south korea. cells of the two strains were gram-stain-negative, aerobic, polar-flagellated and rod-shaped. according to the phylogenetic tree, strains 5413j-26(t) and kis18-15(t) fell into the cluster of sphingomonas sensu stricto. strain 5413j-26(t) showed the highest sequence similarities with sphingomonas trueperi lmg 2142(t) (96.6%), sphingomonas molluscorum kmm 3882(t) (96.5%), ... | 2014 | 24425812 |
| a rare case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis with sphingomonas koreensis. | sphingomonas species are ubiquitous gram-negative, aerobic bacteria frequently found in aquatic environments such as drinking water and very seldom in hemodialysis fluids or supposedly sterile drug solutions. human infections with the gram-negative sphingomonas species are rare and peritonitis with these organisms even rarer. here we report a case of polymicrobial peritonitis due to sphingomonas koreensis and escherichia coli in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis (pd). | 2017 | 27006439 |
