| actinomyces marimammalium sp. nov., from marine mammals. | three strains of a previously undescribed actinomyces-like bacterium were isolated from samples taken from two dead seals and a porpoise. biochemical testing and page analysis of whole-cell proteins indicated the strains were phenotypically similar to each other but different from previously described actinomyces and arcanobacterium species. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies showed the organisms from marine animals were genetically closely related and represent a hitherto unknown subl ... | 2001 | 11211252 |
| actinomyces hongkongensis sp. nov. a novel actinomyces species isolated from a patient with pelvic actinomycosis. | a bacterium was isolated from the pus of a patient with pelvic actinomycosis. the cells were strictly anaerobic, straight, non-sporulating, gram-positive rods. it grows on sheep blood agar as non-haemolytic, pinpoint colonies after 24 hours of incubation at 37 degrees c in anaerobic environment. it is non-motile and does not produce catalase. 16s ribosomal rna (rrna) gene sequencing showed that there were 6.6% difference between the 16s rrna gene sequence of the bacterium that of actinomyces mar ... | 2003 | 14666979 |
| actinomyces liubingyangii sp. nov. isolated from the vulture gypaetus barbatus. | two strains (vul4_1t and vul4_2) of gram-staining-positive, catalase-negative, non-spore-forming short rods were isolated from rectal swabs of old world vultures (gypaetus barbatus) in the tibet-qinghai plateau, china. analysis of morphological characteristics and biochemical tests indicated that the two strains closely resembled each other but were distinct from other species of the genus actinomyces previously described. based on the results of 16s rrna gene sequence comparison and genome anal ... | 2017 | 28629506 |
