Roseomonas, a new genus associated with bacteremia and other human infections

Using biochemical tests and DNA hybridization, 42 strains of pink-pigmented, gram-negative bacteria that were not members of the genus Methylobacterium were examined and the new genus, Roseomonas, is proposed for these bacteria to include three named species,Roseomonas gilardii sp.

Francisella philomiragia comb. nov. (formerly Yersinia philomiragia) and Francisella tularensis biogroup novicida (formerly Francisella novicida) associated with human disease

It is confirmed that F novicida and F. tularensis are the same species and having shown that F.Novicida is pathogenic for humans, it is proposed to eliminate the species F. novicIDA and demoting it to a biogroup of F. Tularensis as Francisella philomiragia comb.

Evaluation and Improvement of Real-Time PCR Assays Targeting lytA, ply, and psaA Genes for Detection of Pneumococcal DNA

Three novel real-time PCR assays designed for the detection of specific sequence regions of the lytA, ply, and psaA genes were developed and should be considered the assays of choice for the Detection of pneumococcal DNA, particularly when upper respiratory P-LVS might be present in the clinical specimen.

Further determination of DNA relatedness between serogroups and serovars in the family Leptospiraceae with a proposal for Leptospira alexanderi sp. nov. and four new Leptospira genomospecies.

DNA relatedness was determined among 303 strains of Leptospira and Leptonema, representing 12 previously described species and five new genomospecies, with the exception of Ballum, which was genetically heterogeneous.

Rochalimaea elizabethae sp. nov. isolated from a patient with endocarditis

Recognition of the procedures required to identify this and other Rochalimaea species suggests that clinical laboratories should prolong the incubation times of cultures of blood and tissue from patients with suspected endocarditis, patients with fever of unknown origin, and immunocompromised patients with Fever so that the full spectrum of disease caused by these organisms can be recognized.

Proposals to unify the genera Bartonella and Rochalimaea, with descriptions of Bartonella quintana comb. nov., Bartonella vinsonii comb. nov., Bartonella henselae comb. nov., and Bartonella…

On the basis of DNA relatedness data, previous 16S rRNA sequence data, guanine-plus-cytosine contents, and phenotypic characteristics, neither Bartonella bacilliformis nor Rochalimaea species are closely related to other organisms currently classified in the order Rickettsiales.
