| the ancient small mobilizable plasmid palwed1.8 harboring a new variant of the non-cassette streptomycin/spectinomycin resistance gene aada27. | the small mobilizable plasmid palwed1.8 containing a novel variant of the streptomycin/spectinomycin resistance gene aada27 was isolated from the permafrost strains of acinetobacter lwoffii. the 4135bp plasmid carries mobа and mobc genes that mediate its mobilization by conjugative plasmids. the nucleotide sequences of mobа and mobc are similar to those of mobilization genes of the modern plasmid pray* and its variants, which contain aadb gene, and are widespread among the pathogenic strains of ... | 2017 | 26896789 |
| identification of 50 class d β-lactamases and 65 acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinases in acinetobacter spp. | whole-genome sequencing of a collection of 103 acinetobacter strains belonging to 22 validly named species and another 16 putative species allowed detection of genes for 50 new class d β-lactamases and 65 new acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinases (adc). all oxacillinases (oxa) contained the three typical motifs of class d β-lactamases, stfk, (f/y)gn, and k(s/t)g. the phylogenetic tree drawn from the oxa sequences led to an increase in the number of oxa groups from 7 to 18. the topologies of th ... | 2014 | 24277043 |
| acinetobacter parvus bacteraemia community-acquired. | clinicians are generally familiar with acinetobacter baumannii as an aetiological agent of serious nosocomial infections in intensive care units. other acinetobacter species can also be responsible for life-threatening sepsis. here, we report about a bacteraemia caused by acinetobacter parvus, community-acquired, identified with a 16s rrna gene sequence analysis and the maldi-tof mass spectrometry system. | 2012 | 23182682 |
| acinetobacter parvus sp. nov., a small-colony-forming species isolated from human clinical specimens. | the taxonomic status of seven glucose-non-acidifying, non-proteolytic acinetobacter strains characterized by forming small colonies on agar media was studied. with one exception, all strains were from human specimens. they could be distinguished from all described acinetobacter (genomic) species by their ability to grow on ethanol and acetate as sole sources of carbon but not on 22 other substrates tested including dl-lactate or dl-4-aminobutyrate. dna-dna hybridization studies, 16s rrna gene se ... | 2003 | 13130049 |
| draft genome sequences of acinetobacter parvus cm11, acinetobacter radioresistens cm38, and stenotrophomonas maltophilia br12, isolated from murine proximal colonic tissue. | here, we report three genome sequences of bacteria isolated from murine proximal colonic tissue and identified as acinetobacter parvus cm11, acinetobacter radioresistens cm38, and stenotrophomonas maltophilia br12. | 2015 | 26472823 |
| novel acinetobacter parvus handi 309 microbial biomass for the production of n-acetyl-β-d-glucosamine (glcnac) using swollen chitin substrate in submerged fermentation. | n-acetyl-β-d-glucosamine (glcnac)6 is extensively used as an important bio-agent and a functional food additive. the traditional chemical process for glcnac production has some problems such as high production cost, low yield, and acidic pollution. therefore, to discover a novel chitinase that is suitable for bioconversion of chitin to glcnac would be of great value. | 2017 | 28293289 |
