Nasofacial infection in a cat due to a novel bacterium in [PDF]
Case summary A 2-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat was presented for a progressive subcutaneous nasofacial swelling. Histology of biopsy tissue revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation and large numbers of gram-negative capsulated bacterial ...

Phylogenetic analysis of family Neisseriaceae based on genome sequences and description of Populibacter corticis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Neisseriaceae, isolated from symptomatic bark of Populus × euramericana canker. [PDF]
Two Gram-stain negative aerobic bacterial strains were isolated from the bark tissue of Populus × euramericana. The novel isolates were investigated using a polyphasic approach including 16S rRNA gene sequencing, genome sequencing, average nucleotide ...

Oral Microbiota Dysbiosis in Firefighters and the Potential Contributing Environmental and Lifestyle Factors Based on a Case-Control Study [PDF]
Epidemiological studies show firefighters have increased risks of cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. To explore links between occupational/environmental exposures and dysbiosis-associated health risks, this case-control study compared oral ...

Previously uncharacterized rectangular bacterial structures in the dolphin mouth [PDF]
Much remains to be explored regarding the diversity of uncultured, host-associated microbes. Here, we describe rectangular bacterial structures (RBSs) in the mouths of bottlenose dolphins.

Structural heterogeneity of the lipopolysaccharides of the Neisseriaceae [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharides from 5 different genera of the Neisseriaceae were analyzed on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and visualized by silver staining. Significant heterogeneity in the banding patterns was observed with some of the strains producing only low molecular mass molecules and others producing O-repeating units.

Analysis of Lipooligosaccharide Biosynthesis in the Neisseriaceae [PDF]
ABSTRACT Neisserial lipooligosaccharide (LOS) contains three oligosaccharide chains, termed the α, β, and γ chains. We used Southern hybridization experiments on DNA isolated from various Neisseria spp. to determine if strains considered to be nonpathogenic possessed DNA sequences homologous with genes ...

Respiratory tract bacteria distribution and transmission patterns among individuals in close contact [PDF]
Background Respiratory disease outbreaks frequently occur in settings where individuals are in close contact, for example, schools and factories. However, the transmission patterns of oropharyngeal microbiota among healthy individuals living in clusters ...

Protein secretion and secreted proteins in pathogenicNeisseriaceae [PDF]
Secreted proteins of pathogenic bacteria are often essential virulence factors. They are involved, for example, in the adherence of the bacteria to host cells or required to suppress the host's defence mechanisms. Until recently, only IgA1 protease had been studied in detail in the NeisseriaceaeNeisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
