| phenotypic and phylogenetic characterization of a new corynebacterium species from dogs: description of corynebacterium auriscanis sp. nov. | six strains of a previously undescribed catalase-positive coryneform bacterium isolated from clinical specimens from dogs were characterized by phenotypic and molecular genetic methods. biochemical and chemotaxonomic studies revealed that the unknown bacterium belonged to the genus corynebacterium sensu stricto. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing showed that the six strains were genealogically highly related and constitute a new subline within the genus corynebacterium; this subline is close t ... | 1999 | 10523531 |
| corynebacterium suicordis sp. nov., from pigs. | nineteen strains of gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from pigs were characterized by using biochemical, molecular chemical and molecular genetic methods. two distinct groups of organisms were discerned, based on their colonial morphology, camp (christie-atkins-munch-petersen) reaction and numerical profile by using the api coryne system. the first group (13 strains) gave a doubtful discrimination between corynebacterium striatum and co ... | 2003 | 14657140 |
| first clinical case of corynebacterium auriscanis isolated from localized dog bite infection. | corynebacterium auriscanis has only previously been isolated from dogs and to our knowledge no cases of zoonotic transmission to humans have been reported. a case of a leg wound infection following a dog bite in a previously healthy human patient is described and confirms this organism to be a potential human pathogen. | 2008 | 18566151 |
| in vitro antimicrobial activity of a commercial ear antiseptic containing chlorhexidine and tris-edta. | minimum bactericidal concentrations (mbcs) of a commercial ear antiseptic containing chlorhexidine 0.15% and tris-edta (otodine) were determined by broth microdilution for 150 isolates representing the most common pathogens associated with canine otitis. the microorganisms were classified into three groups according to their levels of susceptibility. the most susceptible group included staphylococcus pseudintermedius, malassezia pachydermatis, streptococcus canis and corynebacterium auriscanis, ... | 2010 | 20030799 |
| coryneform bacteria associated with canine otitis externa. | this study aims to investigate the occurrence of coryneform bacteria in canine otitis externa. a combined case series and case-control study was carried out to improve the current knowledge on frequency and clinical significance of coryneform bacteria in samples from canine otitis externa. a total of 16 cases of otitis externa with involvement of coryneform bacteria were recorded at two referral veterinary hospitals in denmark and the us, respectively. coryneform bacteria were identified by part ... | 2010 | 20434850 |
| whole-genome sequence of corynebacterium auriscanis strain cip 106629 isolated from a dog with bilateral otitis from the united kingdom. | in this work, we describe a set of features of corynebacterium auriscanis cip 106629 and details of the draft genome sequence and annotation. the genome comprises a 2.5-mbp-long single circular genome with 1,797 protein-coding genes, 5 rrna, 50 trna, and 403 pseudogenes, with a g+c content of 58.50%. | 2016 | 27516502 |
| retrospective evaluation of canine dermatitis secondary to corynebacterium spp. | corynebacterium species are considered nonpathogenic in canine dermatitis; however, potential clinical significance has been demonstrated in canine otitis externa and from a dog bite wound in a human. objectives of this study were to identify the predominant corynebacterium species present in lesions of canine dermatitis, assess pathogenic role, determine antimicrobial susceptibility, and evaluate clinical response. of 37 isolates identified as corynebacterium, 31 were corynebacterium auriscanis ... | 2015 | 26535455 |
