Polymicrobial bloodstream infection with Eggerthella lenta and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.
The advancement in culture identification methods has made possible the culture and identification of slow-growing anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples. Here, we describe a case of polymicrobial bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by Eggerthella lenta and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, identified by API 20A and Vitek 2 systems and by 16S rRNA sequencing.
متن کاملSerine biosynthesis in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.
Cell-free extracts of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans possess enzymes which catalyze the synthesis of serine from 3-phosphoglycerate via the intermediates phosphohydroxypyruvate and phosphoserine.
متن کاملGenetic transfer in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.
An apparently defective bacteriophage capable of mediating transduction has been identified in culture filtrates of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (American Type Culture Collection 27774). Phage-mediated intraspecies transfer of antibiotic resistance markers occurs with a frequency of 10(-5) to 10(-6) per recipient cell. The vector contains linear fragments of double-stranded DNA of about 13.5 kil...
متن کاملClinical and microbiological characteristics of Eggerthella lenta bacteremia.
Eggerthella lenta is an emerging pathogen that has been underrecognized due to historical difficulties with phenotypic identification. Until now, its pathogenicity, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and optimal treatment have been poorly characterized. In this article, we report the largest cohort of patients with E. lenta bacteremia to date and describe in detail their clinical features, m...
متن کاملCholine fermentation by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.
Baker, F. D. (Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio), H. R. Papiska, and L. Leon Campbell. Choline fermentation by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. J. Bacteriol. 84:973-978. 1962-Hayward and Stadtman pointed out that the organism they described as Vibrio cholinicus is closely related to Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. We have established that some strains of D. desulfuricans carry out the same f...
