Preanalytical, Analytical and Postanalytical Analyses on Corynebacterium spp. and Actinomycetaceae in Urine Samples of Patients with Suspected Urinary Tract Infection—A Hypothesis-Forming Observational Study [PDF]
DiagnosticsA hypothesis-forming exploratory cross-sectional assessment was conducted to assess the occurrence and relevance of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria like Corynebacterium spp. and Actinomycetaceae in human urine samples. In total, 1170 urine samples from

Rapid identification of Actinomycetaceae and related bacteria [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1978 Identification of new isolates belonging to the family Actinomycetaceae requires extensive numbers of biochemical tests, supplemented with gas-liquid chromatography determination of fermentation end products and, often, analysis of cell wall composition. This paper describes the results of the testing of 162 strains of Actinomycetaceae and related taxa

Evolution of substrate specificity in a retained enzyme driven by gene loss [PDF]
eLife, 2017 The connection between gene loss and the functional adaptation of retained proteins is still poorly understood. We apply phylogenomics and metabolic modeling to detect bacterial species that are evolving by gene loss, with the finding that ...

Phylogenomics and Evolutionary Dynamics of the Family Actinomycetaceae [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2014 The family Actinomycetaceae comprises several important pathogens that impose serious threat to human health and cause substantial infections of economically important animals. However, the phylogeny and evolutionary dynamic of this family are poorly characterized.

A Numerical Taxonomic Study of Members of the Actinomycetaceae and Related Taxa [PDF]
Microbiology, 1981 Two hundred and twenty-two representatives of the Actinomycetaceae and related taxa, including reference cultures, received strains and fresh isolates, were tested using 124 unit characters. The data were examined using numerical taxonomic techniques with various coefficients and average linkage clustering; the variation in composition of the clusters ...

Comparison of Vitek MS and MALDI Biotyper for Identification of Actinomycetaceae of Clinical Importance [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2015 ABSTRACT The Vitek MS in vitro diagnostic (IVD) and MALDI Biotyper IVD systems were evaluated for the identification of 158 strains of Actinomycetaceae . Correct species-level identification rates of 60.7% and 58.2% were obtained with the Vitek MS system after direct deposit and ...

Indicator bacteria taxa reveal breeding site origins of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]
BMC Research NotesBackground The microbiota of adult mosquitoes reflects both their life history and the environments they encounter. Linking specific bacterial communities in adult mosquitoes to their larval aquatic habitats would suggest that microbiota profiling can ...

Insights into Butyrate Production in a Controlled Fermentation System via Gene Predictions [PDF]
mSystems, 2017 Butyrate is a common fatty acid produced in important fermentative systems, such as the human/animal gut and other H2 production systems. Despite its importance, there is little information on the partnerships between butyrate producers and other ...

A two sample mendelian randomization analysis investigates causal effects between gut microbiome and immune related Vasculitis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsObservational data suggest a link between gut microbiota and immune-related vasculitis, but causality remains unclear. A bidirectional mendelian randomization study was conducted using public genome-wide data.

Impact of gut microbiota on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: insights from a leave-one-out cross-validation study [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionEnteric dysbacteriosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying causal relationship remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota and
