evolution of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis and application to the fine-tuned phylogenetic positioning of enteric bacteria.a comprehensive phylogenetic tree for virtually the entire assemblage of enteric bacteria is presented. character states of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis are used as criteria, and the results are compared with partial trees based upon sequencing of 16s rrna, 5s rrna, and tryptophan leader peptide. three major clusters are apparent. enterocluster 1 possesses a gene fusion (trpg-trpd) encoding anthranilate synthase: anthranilate 5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase of tryptop ...19902298692
extracellular oxidation of d-glucose by some members of the enterobacteriaceae.extracellular d-glucose oxidation by 5 enterobacterial species was studied with the purpose of selecting conditions useful for taxonomic studies. extracellular production of gluconate from 14c-glucose by bacterial cells was evidenced by deae-cellulose paper chromatography. escherichia coli oxidized glucose only when pyrroloquinoline quinone (pqq) was added, whereas serratia marcescens, yersinia frederiksenii, erwinia cypripedii and cedecea lapagei oxidized d-glucose without added pqq. 2-deoxyglu ...19883382545
the phylogenetic origin of the bifunctional tyrosine-pathway protein in the enteric lineage of bacteria.because bifunctional enzymes are distinctive and highly conserved products of relatively infrequent gene-fusion events, they are particularly useful markers to identify clusters of organisms at different hierarchical levels of a phylogenetic tree. within the subdivision of gram-negative bacteria known as superfamily b, there are two distinctive types of tyrosine-pathway dehydrogenases: (1) a broad-specificity dehydrogenase (recently termed cyclohexadienyl dehydrogenase [cdh]) that can utilize ei ...19883386529

rapid catalase supplemental test for identification of members of the family enterobacteriaceae.a simple, rapid, semiquantitative slide catalase test useful for differentiating members of the family enterobacteriaceae is described. judging by the time required for appearance of oxygen bubbles in 3% hydrogen peroxide, the immediate catalase reactors were yersinia, serratia, proteus, morganella, providencia, cedecea, and hafnia spp. the delayed catalase reactors were escherichia, shigella, klebsiella, enterobacter, salmonella, citrobacter, edwardsiella, kluyvera, and tatumella spp. this info ...19873818934

third generation cephalosporin-resistant gram-negative bacilli in the feces of hospitalized children.in view of the widespread use of third generation cephalosporins in hospitalized infants, we attempted to determine whether their use was associated with the emergence of resistance in fecal gram-negative bacilli. stools from infants hospitalized for varying durations were cultured on macconkey agar containing 4 micrograms/ml of cefotaxime. all isolates growing on this medium were identified and their susceptibilities to 29 antimicrobial agents were determined. sixty-five infants were studied of ...19957746715

phylogeny of the enterobacteriaceae based on genes encoding elongation factor tu and f-atpase beta-subunit.the phylogeny of enterobacterial species commonly found in clinical samples was analysed by comparing partial sequences of their elongation factor tu gene (tuf) and of their f-atpase beta-subunit gene (atpd). an 884 bp fragment for tuf and an 884 or 871 bp fragment for atpd were sequenced for 96 strains representing 78 species from 31 enterobacterial genera. the atpd sequence analysis exhibited an indel specific to pantoea and tatumella species, showing, for the first time, a tight phylogenetic ...200516166704
[screening and identification of steroidal saponins-producing endophytes from paris polyphylla var. chinensis franch].two endophytic strains ss01 and ss02 with the potential for producing steroidal saponins were isolated from the underground stems of paris polyphylla var. chinensis franch. the tlc comparison indicated that there are 3 sports with similar r(f) between the metabolites of ss01 and the saponins of paris polyphylla var. chinensis franch. and there are 2 sports with similar r(f) between the metabolites of ss02 and the saponins of paris polyphylla var. chinensis the and that biochemical ss01 franch. c ...200516342775
pyrazines responsible for the potatolike odor produced by some serratia and cedecea strains.the pyrazines responsible for the potatolike odor produced by some serratia and cedecea cultures were identified by gas-liquid chromatography (with flame ionization and thermoionic ionization detectors) and mass spectrometry. alkylpyrazines were produced by the six strains studied irrespective of their odors. the major alkyl-methoxypyrazine produced by cedecea davisae was 3-sec-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine, and that produced by odoriferous serratia strains (s. rubidaea, s. odorifera, and s. ficaria) ...198516346901

sirolimus oral ulcer with cedecea davisae superinfection.cedecea davisae is a member of the enterobacteriaceae family and is an uncommon pathogen. this organism has been isolated from the blood, sputum, and cutaneous ulcers of only a handful of patients, most of these being elderly or otherwise medically compromised. this is a report of a patient, status post renal transplantation, who developed an oral ulcer associated with sirolimus use and superinfected with c. davisae. according to the literature, this is the first case of c. davisae detected in t ...201020525018
cedecea davisae bacteremia in a neutropenic patient with acute myeloid leukemia.cedecea are the new members of enterobacteriacea. because of their inherent resistance to some antibiotics, the clinical response could be unpredictable making management of cedecea infection in immunocompromised patients challenging. we report a case of acute myeloid leukemia with central line-related cedecea bacteremia.201121571373
mosquito ingestion of antibodies against mosquito midgut microbiota improves conversion of ookinetes to oocysts for plasmodium falciparum, but not p. yoelii.the mosquito midgut is a site of complex interactions between the mosquito, the malaria parasite and the resident bacterial flora. in laboratory experiments, we observed significant enhancement of plasmodium falciparum oocyst production when anopheles gambiae (diptera: culicidae) mosquitoes were membrane-fed on infected blood containing gametocytes from in vitro cultures mixed with sera from rabbits immunized with a. gambiae midguts. to identify specific mechanisms, we evaluated whether the immu ...201121763778
