Transformation in Micrococcus Lysodeikticus [PDF]
SUMMARY: Phage N6 lysates of Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Sarcina lutea were very viscous and were found to mediate genetic transfer of an adenine marker (ade+) to adenine-dependent strains of M. lysodeikticus. The transfer activity of these lysates was found to reside in a high molecular weight DNA fraction rather than in the phage particles ...

Microbial predictors of healing and short-term effect of debridement on the microbiome of chronic wounds. [PDF]
Chronic wounds represent a large and growing disease burden. Infection and biofilm formation are two of the leading impediments of wound healing, suggesting an important role for the microbiome of these wounds.

Extracellular DNA Provides Structural Integrity to a Micrococcus luteus Biofilm.
Force spectroscopy was used to show that extracellular DNA (eDNA) has a pre-eminent structural role in a biofilm. The adhesive behavior of extracellular polymeric substances to poly(ethylene terephthalate), a model hydrophobic surface, was measured in ...

Micrococcus in the blood [PDF]
Eight isolates of micrococci from the bloodstream of six patients obtained under circumstances suggesting a pathogenic role were studied in detail. The organisms were remarkably uniform in cultural, biochemical and antibiotic-susceptibility characters. All strains showed high resistance to methicillin and hydrolysed arginine.

Genome Sequences for Three Strains of Kocuria rosea, Including the Type Strain [PDF]
Genomes from three strains of Kocuria rosea were sequenced. K. rosea ATCC 186, the type strain, was 3,958,612 bp in length with a total G+C content of 72.70%. When assembled, K. rosea ATCC 516 was 3,862,128 bp with a 72.82% G+C content. K.

Native valve infective endocarditis due to Micrococcus luteus in a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patient
Micrococcus species are typically considered contaminants from skin and mucous membranes. However, especially in severely immunocompromised patients, a blood culture with Micrococcus could be the cause of a significant infection.

Emended descriptions of the genus Micrococcus, Micrococcus luteus (Cohn 1872) and Micrococcus lylae (Kloos et al. 1974). [PDF]
Nine yellow-pigmented, spherical bacterial strains isolated from a medieval wall painting (strain D7), from indoor air (strains 3, 6, 7, 13C2, 38, 83 and 118) and from an activated-sludge plant (strain Ballarat) were classified by a polyphasic approach.
