| corynebacterium freneyi sp. nov., alpha-glucosidase-positive strains related to corynebacterium xerosis. | three coryneform strains from clinical specimens were studied. they belonged to the genus corynebacterium, since they had type iv cell walls containing corynemycolic acids. they had phenotypic characteristics that included alpha-glucosidase, pyrazinamidase and alkaline phosphatase activities and fermentation of glucose, ribose, maltose and sucrose. these are the characteristics of corynebacterium xerosis. since this species is very rare in human pathology, the strains were studied in more detail ... | 2001 | 11594602 |
| corynebacterium freneyi bacteremia. | corynebacterium freneyi is a recently described alpha-glucosidase-positive species of the genus corynebacterium: to our knowledge, there is no description of human infection due to this species. we report on a case of bacteremia due to c. freneyi following vascular surgery. | 2003 | 12791929 |
| corynebacterium sphenisci sp. nov., isolated from wild penguins. | six unidentified gram-positive, rod-shaped organisms recovered from the cloacae of apparently healthy wild penguins were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. chemotaxonomic investigations revealed the presence of a cell wall based on meso-diaminopimelic acid and long-chain cellular fatty acids of the straight-chain saturated and monounsaturated types, consistent with the genus corynebacterium. corynomycolic acids, which are characteristic of the genus, were also detected, ... | 2003 | 12892119 |
| corynebacterium hansenii sp. nov., an alpha-glucosidase-negative bacterium related to corynebacterium xerosis. | a novel strain, c-138(t), belonging to the genus corynebacterium was isolated from a severe thigh liposarcoma infection and its differentiation from corynebacterium xerosis and corynebacterium freneyi is described. analysis of 16s rrna gene sequences, rpob sequences and the pcr profile of the 16s-23s spacer regions was not conclusive enough to differentiate strain c-138(t) from c. xerosis and c. freneyi. however, according to dna-dna hybridization data, strain c-138(t) constitutes a member of a ... | 2007 | 17473268 |
| comprehensive study of corynebacterium freneyi strains and extended and emended description of corynebacterium freneyi renaud, aubel, riegel, meugnier, and bollet 2001. | in 2001, corynebacterium freneyi was described as a new fermentative, alpha-glucosidase-positive corynebacterium species related to c. xerosis based on data from three strains. during a review of our extensive culture collection we encountered 18 additional c. freneyi strains and further characterized them in detail. thirteen of the 18 strains were isolated from female genital tract specimens without any obvious disease association. phenotypically, c. freneyi can be easily differentiated from c. ... | 2008 | 18077628 |
| corynebacterium sputi sp. nov., isolated from the sputum of a patient with pneumonia. | a coryneform bacterium isolated from the sputum of a patient with pneumonia was characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. chemotaxonomic investigations revealed the presence of cell-wall chemotype iv and short chain mycolic acids consistent with the genus corynebacterium. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies confirmed this assignment, with the organism forming a hitherto unknown subline within the genus associated with a subcluster containing corynebacterium hansenii, ... | 2008 | 19060075 |
| 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 |
| a modified culture-based study of bacterial community composition in a tannery wastewater treatment plant. | though culture-independent methods have been used in preference to traditional isolation techniques for characterization of microbial community of wastewater treatment plants, it is difficult to widely apply this approach in resource-poor countries. the present study aimed to develop a test to identify the culturable portion of bacterial community in a high-strength wastewater. wastewater samples were collected from nitrification-denitrification and settling tanks of the treatment plant of elmo ... | 2010 | 21099040 |
| antimicrobial treatment options for granulomatous mastitis caused by corynebacterium species. | corynebacterium species are increasingly recognized as important pathogens in granulomatous mastitis. currently, there are no published treatment protocols for corynebacterium breast infections. this study describes antimicrobial treatment options in the context of other management strategies used for granulomatous mastitis. corynebacterium spp. isolated from breast tissue and aspirate samples stored from 2002 to 2013 were identified and determined to the species level using matrix-assisted lase ... | 2015 | 26135858 |
