| corynebacterium aquaticum septicemia. characterization of the microorganisms. | an 85-year-old woman with the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis developed septicemia during hospitalization. cultures of the patient's blood revealed the presence of gram-variable coccobacilli, later identified as corynebacterium aquaticum. the microorganisms grew aerobically on blood agar plates after incubation overnight. the colonies were convex, non-hemolytic and slightly yellow-pigmented. no growth was observed on macconkey and endo agar plates. the organisms were catalase-positive, oxidas ... | 1975 | 808959 |
| "corynebacterium aquaticum" wound infection after high-pressure water injection into the foot. | the organisms presently named "corynebacterium aquaticum" have their natural habitat in water and are increasingly often isolated in clinical specimens, but are very seldom the proven cause of infection. a case of a 24-year-old man with a "c aquaticum" wound infection secondary to a high-pressure water injection injury in the foot is described. cefadroxil and cefuroxime were used for treatment. | 1996 | 9060071 |
| clinical microbiology of coryneform bacteria. | coryneform bacteria are aerobically growing, asporogenous, non-partially-acid-fast, gram-positive rods of irregular morphology. within the last few years, there has been a massive increase in the number of publications related to all aspects of their clinical microbiology. clinical microbiologists are often confronted with making identifications within this heterogeneous group as well as with considerations of the clinical significance of such isolates. this review provides comprehensive informa ... | 1997 | 8993861 |

| cholesterol granuloma associated with otitis media in a cat. | an 8-year-old, male neutered siamese cat was presented with horner syndrome and right head tilt. a soft tissue mass was observed in the right tympanic cavity, and bulla osteotomy was performed. tissue samples retrieved from the tympanic cavity were sent for histology, and a middle ear fluid swab was sent for bacterial culture and sensitivity. histologic diagnosis was of otitis media associated with cholesterol granuloma (cg). bacterial culture yielded pasteurella multocida and leifsonia (coryneb ... | 2013 | 23674460 |
| catheter-associated bloodstream infection caused by leifsonia aquatica in a haemodialysis patient: a case report. | leifsonia aquatica is an aquatic coryneform rod that is capable of forming biofilms in environmental water sources. it has rarely been associated with human infections and its pathogenicity and clinical significance are uncertain. we describe a case of catheter-related bloodstream infection in a haemodialysis patient. the isolate grew on conventional media as a yellow-pigmented colony, but identification required molecular methods. although the strain displayed reduced sensitivity to vancomycin, ... | 2012 | 22383440 |
| antimicrobial activity of iodoquinol 1%-hydrocortisone acetate 2% gel against ciclopirox and clotrimazole. | commercially available topical formulations consisting of iodoquinol 1%-hydrocortisone acetate 2%, ciclopirox 0.77%, and clotrimazole 1%-betamethasone dipropionate 0.5% were assessed for their antimicrobial activity against cultures of micrococcus luteus, propionibacterium acnes, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa), pseudomonas aeruginosa, corynebacterium aquaticum, trichophyton mentagrophytes, malassezia furfur, microsporum canis, candida albicans, trichophyton rubrum, or epiderm ... | 2008 | 19055171 |
| leifsonia kribbensis sp. nov., isolated from soil. | a yellow-pigmented actinobacterium, designated strain msl-13t, was isolated from a soil sample collected from bigeum island, republic of korea, and its taxonomic position was determined by using a polyphasic approach. strain msl-13t showed phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties consistent with its classification in the genus leifsonia. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis of strain msl-13t with sequences from leifsonia naganoensis db103t, leifsonia aquatica dsm 20146t, leifsonia xyli subsp. cynodon ... | 2009 | 19126716 |
| ecological impact of solar ultraviolet-b (uv-b: 320-290 nm) radiation on corynebacterium aquaticum and xanthomonas sp. colonization on tea phyllosphere in relation to blister blight disease incidence in the field. | to assess the effects of solar uv-b radiation on phyllosphere bacteria of tea leaves in relation to blister blight disease in the field. | 2007 | 17451518 |
| fusion of an alcohol dehydrogenase with an aminotransferase using a pas linker to improve coupled enzymatic alcohol-to-amine conversion. | to facilitate biocatalytic conversion of the biotechnologically accessible dicyclic dialcohol isosorbide into its industrially relevant diamines, we have designed a fusion protein between two homo-oligomeric enzymes: the levodione reductase (lr) from leifsonia aquatica and the variant l417m of the ω-aminotransferase from paracoccus denitrificans (pdωat(l417m)), mutually connected by a short pro/ala/ser linker sequence. the hybrid protein was produced in escherichia coli in correctly folded state ... | 2016 | 27578886 |
| [from the mailing list sin: epidemic of infections caused by 'aquatic' bacteria in patients undergoing hemodialysis via central venous catheters]. | bacteremia due to central venous catheter (cvc) infection is the most frequent complication of cvc use as vascular access for hemodialysis (hd). we report a case of an epidemic of cvc infections caused by 3 strains of unusual bacteria: ralstonia pickettii (rp), leifsonia xyli/leifsonia aquatica (lxa), tsuckamurella strandjordae (ts). from 20/8/01 to 30/9/01, 23 of 35 patients dialyzed via cvcs experienced intra-hd pyrogenic reactions. their hemocultures were positive for: rp (14 pts), lxa (3 pts ... | 2005 | 16267809 |
