| crossiella gen. nov., a new genus related to streptoalloteichus. | phylogenetic analysis of the genera within the suborder pseudonocardineae based on almost complete sequences of 16s rdna showed that saccharothrix cryophilis nrrl b-16238t was misplaced within the genus saccharothrix. saccharothrix cryophilis nrrl b-16238t appeared to be phylogenetically closest to streptoalloteichus, but is morphologically distinct from this genus because sporangia with motile spores are not observed. the aerial mycelium fragments into rod-shaped elements and sclerotium-like bo ... | 2001 | 11491360 |
| crossiella equi sp. nov., isolated from equine placentas. | over the course of the past decade, actinomycetes have been isolated from the placentas of horses diagnosed with nocardioform placentitis. the incidence of this infection has generally been low, with typically no more than 30 animals affected in most years, but the incidence increased through 1999, with placentas from 144 mares found to be infected. approximately half of the cases result in loss of the foal. a typical actinomycete with branching mycelium was isolated from placental lesions, and ... | 2002 | 12508885 |

| equine abortion and premature birth associated with cellulosimicrobium cellulans infection. | during the 2002 and 2003 foaling seasons, cellulosimicrobium (cellumonas) cellulans (formerly oerskovia xanthineolytica) was the principal microorganism isolated from fetal tissues or placentas from cases of equine abortion, premature birth, and term pregnancies. significant pathologic findings included chronic placentitis and pyogranulomatous pneumonia. in addition, microscopic and macroscopic alterations in the allantochorion from 4 of 7 cases of placentitis were similar to those caused by cro ... | 2004 | 15305747 |
| lentzea kentuckyensis sp. nov., of equine origin. | a novel actinomycete, designated strain lddc 2876-05(t), was isolated from an equine placenta during the course of routine diagnostic tests for nocardioform placentitis. in a preliminary study, the strain was observed to be phylogenetically distinct from the genera crossiella and amycolatopsis and probably a member of the genus lentzea. a polyphasic study of strain lddc 2876-05(t) confirmed its identification as a member of lentzea on the basis of its chemotaxonomic and morphological similarity ... | 2007 | 17684256 |
