Williamsia spp. are emerging opportunistic bacteria
Actinomycetes that have mycolic acid in the cell walls have been classified under genera such as Corynebacterium, Gordonia, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Tsukamurella, Skermania and Williamsia [1]. Williamsia was introduced in 1999 by Kämpfer et al. [2] to accommodate actinomycetes with atypical cell morphology and mycolic acids with 50 to 56 carbon chain lengths between the genera of R...
متن کاملEmerging opportunistic yeast infections.
A growing population of immunosuppressed patients has resulted in increasingly frequent diagnoses of invasive fungal infections, including those caused by unusual yeasts. The incidence of non-albicans species of Candida is increasing compared with that of Candida albicans, and several species, such as Candida glabrata and Candida krusei, may be resistant to azole antifungal therapy. Trichosporo...
متن کاملWilliamsia muralis Pulmonary Infection
To the Editor: Bacteria of the genus Williamsia are mycolic acid–containing actinomycetes of the suborder Corynebacterineae (1). This suborder also includes the genera Gordonia, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Corynebacterium, Rhodococcus, Dietzia, Skermania, Tsukamurella, and Turicella (2,3). Within the genus Williamsia, only 2 species have been reported: Williamsia muralis, isolated from a daycare c...
متن کاملMineralization of the cyclic nitramine explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine by Gordonia and Williamsia spp.
Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a cyclic nitroamine explosive that is a major component in many military high-explosive formulations. In this study, two aerobic bacteria that are capable of using RDX as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen to support their growth were isolated from surface soil. These bacterial strains were identified by their fatty acid profiles and 16S ribo...
متن کاملQuorum Sensing Signaling Molecules Produced by Reference and Emerging Soft-Rot Bacteria (Dickeya and Pectobacterium spp.)
BACKGROUND Several small diffusible molecules are involved in bacterial quorum sensing and virulence. The production of autoinducers-1 and -2, quinolone, indole and γ-amino butyrate signaling molecules was investigated in a set of soft-rot bacteria belonging to six Dickeya or Pectobacterium species including recent or emerging potato isolates. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using bacterial bi...
