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 |
[identification of mycobacterium spp. isolates using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms)]. | matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms) has recently been widely used in diagnostic microbiological laboratories. it is a cheap and rapid method for the identification of bacteria and micromycetes. apart from this purpose, it is also used for the detection of antibiotic resistance mechanisms. it has the potential to be extended for other purposes in microbiology. the aim of this study was to validate maldi-tof ms for the identification of mycob ... | 2014 | 25412483 |
a post-mortem study of respiratory disease in small mustelids in south-west england. | stoat (mustela erminea) and weasel (mustela nivalis) populations in south-west england are declining whilst polecats (mustela putorius), absent for over a century, are increasing. little is known about the health status of these species nationally. this study aimed at investigating respiratory disease in specimens found dead in south-west england. | 2016 | 27052849 |
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 |
isolation of mycobacterium kumamotonense from a patient with pulmonary infection and latent tuberculosis. | mycobacterium kumamotonense is a novel, slow-growing non-chromogenic nontuberculous mycobacterium, which belongs to mycobacterium terrae complex. we report, for the first time in greece, the isolation of m. kumamotonense from an immunocompetent patient with pulmonary infection and latent tuberculosis. m. kumamotonense was identified by sequencing analysis of 16s rdna and 65-kda heat shock protein genes while by commercial molecular assays it was misidentified as mycobacterium celatum. antibiotic ... | 2016 | 27080783 |
