| corynebacterium imitans sp. nov. isolated from patients with suspected diphtheria. | a 5-month-old boy of a romanian family traveling via ukraine to poland developed a respiratory disease that resembled and that was initially diagnosed as pharyngeal diphtheria. the child recovered after treatment with antidiphtheria antitoxin. a coryneform bacterium had been isolated from a nasopharyngeal specimen from the child and was initially identified as an atypical corynebacterium diphtheriae strain. seven adults who had contact with either the child or an adult contact person also develo ... | 1997 | 9230366 |
| species identification of corynebacteria by cellular fatty acid analysis. | we evaluated the usefulness of cellular fatty acid analysis for the identification of corynebacteria. therefore, 219 well-characterized strains belonging to 21 corynebacterium species were analyzed with the sherlock system of midi (newark, de). most corynebacterium species have a qualitative different fatty acid profile. corynebacterium coyleae (subgroup 1), corynebacterium riegelii, corynebacterium simulans, and corynebacterium imitans differ only quantitatively. corynebacterium afermentans afe ... | 2006 | 16423489 |
| corynebacterium gottingense sp. nov., isolated from a clinical patient. | a gram-positive bacterial strain, 99221/2016t, was isolated from blood of a patient with bacteraemia at the institute of medical microbiology, göttingen, germany. the strain was rod-shaped with a palisade arrangement of cells, non-spore-forming, non-lipophilic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. it grew well at 37 °c on columbia blood agar and showed good growth under aerobic, microaerophilic and anaerobic conditions. the colonies were white-cream, circular and convex with a shiny, smooth s ... | 2017 | 28950931 |
| complete genome sequence of corynebacterium imitans dsm 44264, isolated from a five-month-old boy with suspected pharyngeal diphtheria. | the complete genome sequence of the type strain corynebacterium imitans dsm 44264 comprises 2,565,321 bp with a mean g+c content of 64.26%. the detection of the antibiotic resistance genes erm(x), apha1-iab, stra-strb, and cmx is fully consistent with the previously observed multidrug-resistant pattern of c. imitans isolates. | 2014 | 25414508 |
| corynebacterium godavarianum sp. nov., isolated from the godavari river, india. | a gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, strain prd07t, was isolated from godavari river, india during the world's largest spiritual and religious mass bathing event 'kumbh mela'. molecular analysis using 16s rrna gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis reveals the distinct phylogenetic positioning of strain prd07t within the genus corynebacterium. the strain demonstrated highest sequence similarity to corynebacterium imitans dsm 44264t (97.9 %), corynebacterium appendicis dsm ... | 2017 | 29148360 |
| [corynebacterium imitans isolated from blood culture in a patient with suspected bacteremia - the first isolation from human clinical material in the czech republic]. | the current view of the clinical importance of nondiphtherial corynebacteria recovered from human clinical material has changed considerably in recent decades; in many cases, a direct etiological role is assumed or has already been demonstrated. presented is a case of suspected bacteremia in a hospitalized elderly woman with isolation of the very rare species corynebacterium imitans from blood culture. however, the etiological significance of the isolated microorganism remains unclear. the aim w ... | 2014 | 25702291 |
