Microarray analysis and barcoded pyrosequencing provide consistent microbial profiles depending on the source of human intestinal samples [PDF]
Large-scale and in-depth characterization of the intestinal microbiota necessitates application of high-throughput 16S rRNA gene-based technologies, such as barcoded pyrosequencing and phylogenetic microarray analysis.

Small and mighty: adaptation of superphylum Patescibacteria to groundwater environment drives their genome simplicity. [PDF]
BackgroundThe newly defined superphylum Patescibacteria such as Parcubacteria (OD1) and Microgenomates (OP11) has been found to be prevalent in groundwater, sediment, lake, and other aquifer environments.

Catheter-Related Microbacterium Bacteremia Identified by 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing [PDF]
ABSTRACT We describe the application of 16S rRNA gene sequencing in defining two cases of catheter-related Microbacterium bacteremia. In the first case, a gram-positive bacillus was isolated from both the blood culture and central catheter tip of a 39-year-old woman with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Variable region analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences is the most common tool in bacterial taxonomic studies. Although used for distinguishing bacterial species, its use remains limited due to the presence of variable copy numbers with sequence variation ...

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Accurate Identification of Common Pathogenic Nocardia Species: Evaluation of a Multilocus Sequence Analysis Platform and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
Species identification of Nocardia is not straightforward due to rapidly evolving taxonomy, insufficient discriminatory power of conventional phenotypic methods and also of single gene locus analysis including 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Diversity of culturable moderately halophilic and halotolerant bacteria in a marsh and two salterns a protected ecosystem of Lower Loukkos (Morocco) [PDF]
To study the biodiversity of halophilic bacteria in a protected wetland located in Loukkos (Northwest, Morocco), a total of 124 strains were recovered from sediment samples from a marsh and salterns.

Characterising the Canine Oral Microbiome by Direct Sequencing of Reverse-Transcribed rRNA Molecules. [PDF]
PCR amplification and sequencing of phylogenetic markers, primarily Small Sub-Unit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes, has been the paradigm for defining the taxonomic composition of microbiomes.
