| gemella asaccharolytica sp. nov., isolated from human clinical specimens. | three strains of an unidentified gram-stain-variable, fastidious, catalase-negative, capnophilic, non-spore-forming, coccus-shaped bacterium from human wound specimens were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. initially, these strains were anaerobic; with repeated culture, they became aerotolerant. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the unknown strains were genealogically homogeneous and constituted a novel subline within the genus gemella. the ... | 2010 | 19666813 |
| aerococcus christensenii as part of severe polymicrobial chorioamnionitis in a pregnant woman. | chorioamnionitis is a potentially life threatening infection of the fetal membranes, commonly caused by ascending bacteria from the vagina and cervix. in our case, a healthy nullipara with a term pregnancy presented clinical signs of infection after induced labour with an intracervical balloon. thick green and foul smelling amniotic fluid was observed and culture showed massive growth of aerococcus christensenii, a facultative anaerob species found in the human vagina, previously only rarely all ... | 2016 | 27014376 |
