Corynebacterium mucifaciens sp. nov., an unusual species from human clinical material.
TLDR
Biochemical and chemotaxonomic characterization and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the unknown coryneform bacterium represented a new subline within the genus Corynebacterium, for which the name CoryneBacterium mucifaciens sp.

Coryneform Gram-Positive Rods
TLDR
The 16S rRNA gene sequencing data demonstrate that the genera Corynebacterium and Turicella are more closely related to the partially acid-fast bacteria and to the genus Mycobacterium than to the other coryneform organisms covered in the chapter.

Evaluation of the VITEK 2 System for Rapid Identification of Medically Relevant Gram-Negative Rods
TLDR
It is predicted that the VITEK 2 system in conjunction with the ID-GNB card would perform well under conditions of a routine clinical laboratory in identifying members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and selected species of nonenteric bacteria.

Comprehensive Study of Strains Previously Designated Streptococcus bovis Consecutively Isolated from Human Blood Cultures and Emended Description of Streptococcus gallolyticus and Streptococcus…
TLDR
Emended species descriptions are given and it is recommended that both clinical microbiologists and infectious disease specialists avoid the designation S. bovis for true S. gallolyticus and S. infantarius strains in the future in order to get a clearer picture of the possible disease associations of these species.

Turicella otitidis gen. nov., sp. nov., a coryneform bacterium isolated from patients with otitis media.
TLDR
It is proposed that the strains isolated from middle-ear infections should be classified in a new genus,Turicella, as Turicella otitidis gen. nov., sp.Nov, on the basis of the results of the phylogenetic analysis.

Multicenter evaluation of the updated and extended API (RAPID) Coryne database 2.0
TLDR
It is concluded that the new API (RAPID) Coryne system 2.0 is a useful tool for identifying the diverse group of coryneform bacteria encountered in the routine clinical laboratory.

Natural antibiotic susceptibility of Listeria species: L. grayi, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. monocytogenes, L. seeligeri and L. welshimeri strains.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the natural susceptibility to 71 antimicrobial agents of 103 Listeria strains belonging to all known Listeria species (L. monocytogenes (N = 21), L. innocua (N = 21), L.…

Utility of PCR in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis
TLDR
Compared a standardized PCR system (Amplicor; Roche) against conventional culture methods, it is shown that disease in more than 60% of the patients with tuberculosis with smear-negative, culture-positive specimens can be diagnosed at the time of admission, and potentially all patients with smear and culture positive specimens can immediately be confirmed as being infected with M. tuberculosis, leading to improved clinical management.
