| assignment of actinomyces pyogenes-like (cdc coryneform group e) bacteria to the genus actinomyces as actinomyces radingae sp. nov. and actinomyces turicensis sp. nov. | in a previous study the authors reported the characterization of some facultatively anaerobic, gram-positive, non-sporeforming rods which were found in mixed cultures from various infectious processes, including patients with otitis, empyema, perianal abscesses and decubitus ulcers. phenotypically these organisms closely resembled actinomyces pyogenes although their precise taxonomic position remained unknown. in the present investigation the authors have determined the 16s rrna gene sequences o ... | 1995 | 7534464 |

| characterization of actinomyces turicensis and actinomyces radingae strains from human clinical samples. | whole-organism protein electrophoresis was used to compare and group unidentified coryneform bacteria resembling gardnerella vaginalis and various actinomyces and arcanobacterium species. the obtained clusters of strains were further characterized by whole-cell fatty acid analysis and a variety of biochemical tests. species-specific oligonucleotide probes based on 16s rrna gene sequences were designed. the results demonstrate that the majority of the isolates belonged to actinomyces turicensis; ... | 1998 | 9731291 |
| actinomyces canis sp. nov., isolated from dogs. | three strains of a previously undescribed catalase-positive actinomyces-like bacterium were isolated from dogs. biochemical testing and page analysis of whole-cell proteins indicated that the strains were phenotypically highly related to each other but different from previously described actinomyces and arcanobacterium species. sequencing of 16s rrna showed that the unknown bacterium represents a new subline within a cluster of species which includes actinomyces hyovaginalis, actinomyces georgia ... | 2000 | 10939662 |
| actinomyces suimastitidis sp. nov., isolated from pig mastitis. | an unusual actinomyces-like bacterium originating from a pig with mastitis was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. the morphological and biochemical characteristics of the organism were consistent with its preliminary assignment to the genus actinomyces but it did not appear to correspond to any recognized species. page analysis of whole-cell proteins confirmed the phenotypic distinctiveness of the bacterium and 16s rrna gene sequence analysis demonstrated that it represents a hit ... | 2001 | 11491328 |
| genotypic diversity of clinical actinomyces species: phenotype, source, and disease correlation among genospecies. | we determined the frequency distribution of actinomyces spp. recovered in a routine clinical laboratory and investigated the clinical significance of accurate identification to the species level. we identified 92 clinical strains of actinomyces, including 13 strains in the related arcanobacterium-actinobaculum taxon, by 16s rrna gene sequence analysis and recorded their biotypes, sources, and disease associations. the clinical isolates clustered into 21 genogroups. twelve genogroups (74 strains) ... | 2002 | 12202591 |

| rare species of actinomyces as causative pathogens in breast abscess. | actinomyces species are commensal flora usually found in the oropharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract. primary actinomycosis of the breast is an unusual condition, where the most commonly isolated pathogen has been actinomyces israelii. in recent years, other actinomyces strains have been found associated with breast disease. we present the first reported cases of breast infection caused by the rare species, actinomyces turicensis and actinomyces radingae. both infections dis ... | 2007 | 17760673 |
| antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates of actinomyces and related genera reveals an unusual clindamycin resistance among actinomyces urogenitalis strains. | patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility in actinomyces and related genera are very limited in the literature. data of predominant susceptibility profiles could contribute to the establishment of an accurate empirical treatment. | 2017 | 28109846 |
