Abstract

A number of mycobacterial strains with similar growth characteristics, metabolic properties, and lipid compositions, which were previously placed in the Helsinki group (E. Brander, E. Jantzen, R. Huttunen, A. Juntunen, and M.-L. Katila, J. Clin. Microbiol. 30:1972-1975, 1992), were characterized by performing 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Of the 14 strains studied, 9 had a unique, previously undescribed sequence in the variable region of 16S rRNA. These nine strains, all of which were isolated from respiratory tract specimens, were nonpigmented and grew at 25 degrees C to 45 degrees C, reaching full colony size after 2 to 3 weeks. They produced arylsulfatase, nicotinamidase, and pyrazinamidase and were negative for Tween 80 hydrolysis, catalase, urease, and nitrate reductase activities, and niacin. Their glycolipid patterns were identical. A mycolic acid analysis performed by using thin-layer chromatography showed that these organisms contained alpha-mycolates, ketomycolates, and carboxy mycolates. Gas-liquid chromatography revealed that 2-eicosanol was the major alcohol and hexacosanoic acid was the major mycolic acid cleavage product. On the basis of their growth, biochemical, and lipid characteristics and their unique 16S rRNA s...Continue Reading

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
