Disseminated Spiroplasma apis Infection in Patient with Agammaglobulinemia, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We report a disseminated infection caused by Spiroplasma apis, a honeybee pathogen, in a patient in France who had X-linked agammaglobulinemia. Identification was challenging because initial bacterial cultures and direct examination by Gram staining were

Growth Factors in Relation to Development of Certain "Fastidious" Bacteria

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1935
It is well known that many of the more fastidious bacteria require special media such as fresh meat infusions for their development and refuse to grow, or at best grow poorly, on the ordinary standard agar and broth made with peptone and meat extract. These organisms, almost without exception, also refuse to grow in a chemically definite or synthetic ...

Cultivation of Fastidious Bacteria by Viability Staining and Micromanipulation in a Soil Substrate Membrane System [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT Soil substrate membrane systems allow for microcultivation of fastidious soil bacteria as mixed microbial communities. We isolated established microcolonies from these membranes by using fluorescence viability staining and micromanipulation.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Leaf- and canopy-level chlorotic symptom variations are associated with differential Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus infection patterns in Ponkan mandarin under field conditions

Microbiology Spectrum
Ponkan mandarin (Citrus reticulata cv. Ponkan) is an important fruit crop planted across different countries. One of its most devastating diseases is citrus huanglongbing (HLB), which is associated with infection by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter ...

Need for Susceptibility Testing Guidelines for Fastidious or Less-Frequently Isolated Bacteria [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2004
In the United States, clinical microbiology laboratories rely upon the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) for written standards that guide the important elements of antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Whether a laboratory performs a direct version of an NCCLS standard method (e.g., disk diffusion) or uses a commercial device

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Madura foot and a continued diagnostic enigma: Dot-in-circle sign on magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound

IDCases, 2023
Madura foot is a chronic granulomatous disease of the skin and underlying tissues caused by fungi or bacteria. Early diagnosis is important to avoid disfiguring limb deformities.

Infective Endocarditis Caused by Slow-Growing, Fastidious, Gram-Negative Bacteria

Medicine, 1979
In a review of endocarditis caused by fastidious, slow-growing gram-negative rods, similarities in the spectrum of disease overshadow differences among cases grouped by specific organisms. Cardiobacterium hominis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Haemophilus species usually seed previously damaged cardiac valves presumably during bacteremia ...
