| alloscardovia omnicolens gen. nov., sp. nov., from human clinical samples. | the taxonomic position of 12 isolates tentatively assigned to the genus bifidobacterium on the basis of a limited phenotypic characterization was examined. the isolates were collected between 1978 and 2005 in belgium, sweden and norway, and originated from various human clinical samples, including urine, blood, urethra, oral cavity, tonsil, and abscesses of lung and aortic valve. on the basis of band number and clustering analysis, repetitive dna element-based pcr fingerprinting using the boxa1r ... | 2007 | 17625172 |
| isolation and identification of bifidobacteriaceae from human saliva. | bifidobacteriaceae were isolated from saliva and infected dentine by using a mupirocin-based selective medium. of the saliva samples, 94% harbored bifids. the mean concentration (+/- the standard error) was 4.46 (+/-0.12) log(10)(cfu per ml + 1), and the predominant isolates were bifidobacterium dentium, b. longum, scardovia inopinata, parascardovia denticolens, and alloscardovia omnicolens. | 2008 | 18723652 |
| site and clinical significance of alloscardovia omnicolens and bifidobacterium species isolated in the clinical laboratory. | most of the members of the genus bifidobacterium, including the related organism alloscardovia omnicolens, are inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity of humans and animals and have been considered nonpathogenic for humans. however, the actual site of isolation and the clinical significance of a. omnicolens and of bifidobacterium species are unclear. this may be due in part to the difficulties in distinguishing these organisms from other genera such as actinomyces. to determine ... | 2009 | 19641056 |
| lactobacillus and bifidobacterium diversity in horse feces, revealed by pcr-dgge. | lactobacillus equi, lactobacillus hayakitensis, lactobacillus johnsonii, and weissella confusa/cibaria were the dominant species in 12 south african horses. the bifidobacterium-group was detected in the feces of only one of the 12 horses. sequencing of the nested-pcr amplicon identified the bifidobacterium-group as parascardovia denticolens. cell numbers of l. equi, l. hayakitensis, and w. confusa/cibaria were consistent in all samples. p. denticolens, bifidodobacterium pseudolongum, and a phylo ... | 2009 | 19730939 |
| bombiscardovia coagulans gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family bifidobacteriaceae isolated from the digestive tract of bumblebees. | one hundred and eighty-seven fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive strains were isolated from the digestive tract of three different bumblebee species. analyses of the partial 16s rrna gene sequences of the representative strains showed only 92.8% and 92.5% similarity to bifidobacterium coryneforme yit 4092(t) and bifidobacterium indicum jcm 1302(t), 92.2% similarity to alloscardovia omnicolens ccug 18650 and slightly reduced similarity of 91% to other members of the family bifidobacteri ... | 2010 | 20950979 |
