Axenic culture of fastidious and intracellular bacteria

Trends in Microbiology, 2013
The culture of microorganisms has been the basis of microbiology. However, revolutionary tools such as metagenomics have made it possible to describe uncultivated bacteria, but several breakthroughs have occurred in culture leading to a revival of these techniques. In this review we focus on new applications that have successfully cultivated previously

ATYPICAL LEGIONELLA-LIKE ORGANISMS: FASTIDIOUS WATER-ASSOCIATED BACTERIA PATHOGENIC FOR MAN

The Lancet, 1979
A group of related bacteria designated atypical Legionella-like organisms (ALLO) has been identified. ALLO, like L. pneumophila, are fastidious gram-negative rods that grow well on charcoal yeast extract (CYE) agar and produce ground glass colonies and browning of modified yeast extract agar. Unlike L.

Fastidious intracellular bacteria as causal agents of community-acquired pneumonia

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2010
Intracellular bacteria are common causes of community-acquired pneumonia that grow poorly or not at all on standard culture media and do not respond to beta-lactam antibiotic therapy. Apart from well-established agents of pneumonia such as Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci and Coxiella burnetii ...

Advances in detection of fastidious bacteria: From microscopic observation to molecular biosensors

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2019
Abstract Identification of pathogens and diagnosis of infections are important health challenges, especially in the case of fastidious bacteria which are those difficult-to-grow. A fastidious organism is any organism that has a complex nutritional requirement.

Uveitis caused by fastidious bacteria

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2009
Abstract Purpose The etiologic evaluation of uveitis is frequently unsuccessful if only noninvasive methods are used. We conducted a prospective study to evaluate systematic screening for pathogens of uveitis. Methods All patients with uveitis referred to the participating tertiary ophthalmology departments from January 2001 to September 2007 underwent

Isolation of Bacteriophages for Fastidious Bacteria

2017
One of the most important factors for successful bacteriophage therapy is, undoubtedly, the isolation of excellent therapeutic candidate bacteriophages. There are only a few reports about active bacteriophages in the fastidious bacteria Helicobacter pylori. In this chapter, we describe a method for isolating and purifying KHP30-like bacteriophages in H.

Fastidious Gram‐negative bacteria: Meeting the diagnostic challenge with nucleic acid analysis

APMIS, 1995
The extended panorama of fastidious Gram‐negative bacteria (FGNB) as opportunistic etiological agents of infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients is largely due to improved medical expertise and technology. The heightened awareness of infectious diseases due to FGNB species mandates comprehensive classification and identification systems as a ...

Fastidious and Furious: Reporting Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for Fastidious or Infrequently Isolated Bacteria

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2017
Abstract Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of fastidious bacteria is an essential yet challenging exercise for the clinical microbiology laboratory. An understanding of bacterial growth requirements is essential to ensure optimal recovery of pathogens.

Biology and Physiology of Fastidious Xylem-Limited Bacteria from Plants

1987
A study of 24 strains of xylem-limited, fastidious bacteria isolated from 11 different plant disease sources provides evidence that they comprise a closely-circumscribed taxonomic group. The data include comparisions of cellular and colonial morphology, growth characteristics, results of physiological tests, antibiotic studies, serology, fatty acid ...

Pre-clinical Microbiology — Fastidious Gram-negative Bacteria

2000
The in-vitro activity of moxifloxacin against a group of fastidious bacterial pathogens was reviewed. Reports from different countries (USA, UK, Germany) were included. The activity (MIC) of moxifloxacin was compared to four other fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, trovafloxacin, levofloxacin, grepafloxacin).
