چکیده
We report a novel anaerobe causing abscess in four patients at three hospitals. In the clinical specimen, bacilli were branching, Gram positive, and acid fast. The organism grew slowly and was not identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. Our findings support the description of a new genus and species of the suborder Corynebacterineae.

Complete Genome Sequences for Two Strains of a Novel Fastidious, Partially Acid-Fast, Gram-Positive Corynebacterineae Bacterium, Derived from Human Clinical Samples
Here we report the complete genome sequences of two strains of the novel fastidious, partially acid-fast, Gram-positive bacillus "Lawsonella clevelandensis" (proposed). Their clinical relevance and unusual growth characteristics make them intriguing candidates for whole-genome sequencing.
متن کاملCan anaerobes be acid fast? A novel, clinically relevant acid fast anaerobe
INTRODUCTION Anaerobic acid fast bacilli (AFB) have not been previously reported in clinical microbiology. This is the second case report of a novel anaerobic AFB causing disease in humans. CASE PRESENTATION An anaerobic AFB was isolated from an abdominal wall abscess in a 64-year-old Caucasian diabetic male, who underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for resection of a pancreatic ne...
متن کاملComments on: Phenotypic and Molecular Identification of Nocardia in Brain Abscess
Authors of the present letter reviewed the letter conducted by Fatahi-Bafghi entitled as "Phenotypic and molecular identification of nocardia in brain abscess."[3] Nocardia is a filamentous bacteria, branched Gram‐positive Bacilli, aerobic, and partially acid-fast, and its diagnosis depends on staining and culture.[4] In this case, microscopic study of the brain abscess specimen revealed, long ...
متن کاملLawsonella clevelandensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the suborder Corynebacterineae isolated from human abscesses.
Gram-stain-positive, partially acid-fast, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, catalase-positive, pleomorphic bacteria were isolated from human abscesses. Strains X1036T, X1698 and NML 120705, were recovered from a spinal abscess, a peritoneal abscess and a breast abscess respectively. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains shared 100 % similarity, and the neare...
