| mycobacterium arupense sp. nov., a non-chromogenic bacterium isolated from clinical specimens. | several mycobacterium-like organisms related to the mycobacterium terrae complex have been isolated from clinical samples. in the clinical microbiology laboratory, partial 16s rrna gene sequencing (approximately the first 500 bp) rather than full 16s rrna gene sequencing is often used to identify mycobacterium species. partial 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed 100 % similarity between 65 clinical isolates and mycobacterium sp. mcro 6 (genbank accession no. x93032). even after sequencing t ... | 2006 | 16738122 |
| mycobacterium kumamotonense sp. nov. recovered from clinical specimen and the first isolation report of mycobacterium arupense in japan: novel slowly growing, nonchromogenic clinical isolates related to mycobacterium terrae complex. | three mycobacterium strains isolated from clinical specimens in japan were provisionally assigned to the genus mycobacterium based on their phenotypical characteristics. these isolates were further investigated to determine their specific taxonomic statuses. mycolic acid analysis and 16s rrna gene, rpob, and hsp65 sequence data for the isolates showed that they are most similar to m. terrae complex. dna-dna hybridization studies indicated that the three strains were of two species and were disti ... | 2006 | 17116985 |

| molecular identification of mycobacterium species of public health importance in cattle in zimbabwe by 16s rrna gene sequencing. | mycobacterium species are naturally found in the environment as well as in domestic animals such as cattle. so far, more than 150 species of mycobacterium, some of which are pathogenic, have been identified. laboratory isolation, detection and identification of mycobacterium species are therefore critical if human and animal infections are to be controlled. the objective of this study was to identify mycobacterium species isolated in cattle in zimbabwe using 16s ribosomal rna gene amplification ... | 2015 | 26668660 |
| mycobacterium minnesotense sp. nov., a photochromogenic bacterium isolated from sphagnum peat bogs. | several intermediate-growing, photochromogenic bacteria were isolated from sphagnum peat bogs in northern minnesota, usa. acid-fast staining and 16s rrna gene sequence analysis placed these environmental isolates in the genus mycobacterium, and colony morphologies and pcr restriction analysis patterns of the isolates were similar. partial sequences of hsp65 and dnaj1 from these isolates showed that mycobacterium arupense atcc baa-1242(t) was the closest mycobacterial relative, and common biochem ... | 2013 | 22345139 |
| diversity of bacteria and mycobacteria in biofilms of two urban drinking water distribution systems. | in this study, to give insight into the bacterial diversity of biofilms from full-scale drinking water distribution systems (dwdss), the bacterial community compositions of biofilms from two urban dwdss (guangzhou and beijing, china) were determined using a 16s rrna gene library technique. meanwhile, the occurrence and diversity of mycobacteria were also analyzed by a mycobacterium -specific hsp gene assay. the biofilms from the full-scale dwdss have complex bacterial populations. proteobacteria ... | 2012 | 22356469 |
| survey of 150 strains belonging to the mycobacterium terrae complex and description of mycobacterium engbaekii sp. nov., mycobacterium heraklionense sp. nov. and mycobacterium longobardum sp. nov. | a thorough phenotypic and genotypic analysis of 150 strains belonging to the mycobacterium terrae complex resulted in the identification of a number of previously unreported sequevars (sqvs) within the species known to belong to the complex. for the species mycobacterium arupense, three sqvs were detected in the 16s rrna gene, six sqvs in the hsp65 gene and 15 sqvs in the rpob gene; in mycobacterium senuense two sqvs were present in each of the three genetic regions; in mycobacterium kumamotonen ... | 2013 | 22447702 |
