A global picture of enterococci in estuarine waters impacted by Hurricane Katrina-derived urban runoff is provided and the culture-independent PCR approach using 23S rRNA gene as a molecular marker could be a good alternative in ecological studies of enteritisci in natural environments to overcome the limitation of conventional cultivation methods.

Search for Campylobacter spp. Reveals High Prevalence and Pronounced Genetic Diversity of Arcobacter butzleri in Floodwater Samples Associated with Hurricane Florence in North Carolina, USA

The findings revealed widespread incidence of the emerging zoonotic pathogen Arcobacter butzleri in floodwaters from Hurricane Florence and encountered high and largely unexplored diversity while also noting the potential for regionally abundant and persistent clones.

Draft Genome Sequence of Enterococcus dispar CoE-457-22, Isolated from Traditionally Produced Montenegrin Dry Sausage

The genome of E. dispar CoE-457-22 is reported, which was obtained from traditionally produced Montenegrin dry sausage (sudzuk) and described as a new species in 1991.

Hurricane Impacts on Florida’s Agriculture and Natural Resources

Hurricanes are the most powerful and largest weather event happening in the air, affecting almost everything in their paths. Their strong winds and heavy rain can directly impact both inland and…

Diversity of Domain V of 23S rRNA Gene Sequence in Different Enterococcus Species

The highly conserved central loop of domain V of 23S RNA (nucleotides 2042 to 2628) is implicated in peptidyltransferase activity and represents one of the target sites for macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B antibiotics.

Species identification of enterococci via intergenic ribosomal PCR

It is found that PCR amplification of the intergenic spacer (ITS-PCR) between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes can produce amplicon profiles characteristic of the enterococcus examined.

Sequencing the Gene Encoding Manganese-Dependent Superoxide Dismutase for Rapid Species Identification of Enterococci

ABSTRACT Simple PCR and sequencing assays that utilize a single pair of degenerate primers were used to characterize a 438-bp-long DNA fragment internal (sodAint) to the sodA gene encoding the…

Temporal and Spatial Variability in Culturable Pathogenic Vibrio spp. in Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita

The three targeted pathogenic vibrios were generally below the detection level in January 2006, and most abundant in September 2006, when the lake water was warmest (30°C) and distance from shore, temperature, and turbidity together explained 82.1% of the variability in total vibrio CFU.

Application of multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) for rapid identification of Enterococcus species based on rpoA and pheS genes.

Both rpoA and pheS genes can be used as reliable tools for identification of clinical and environmental species of Enterococcus and are efficient screening methods for the detection of novel species.

Division of the genus Enterococcus into species groups using PCR-based molecular typing methods.

It was concluded that BR-PCR of 16S rDNA followed by partial sequence analysis of the PCR products is a reliable technique for the identification and classification of enterococci.

Development of a PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Enterococci

A PCR-based assay which allows the detection of enterococci at the genus level by targeting the tuf gene, which encodes elongation factor EF-Tu, and has potential for use in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Fluorescent in situ hybridization with specific DNA probes offers adequate detection of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium in clinical samples.

The results of this study show that the probes can be used both in the routine laboratory to detect and determine the enterococcal species in different clinical samples and in a research setting to enumerate and detect theEnterococci in their physical environment.

Identification of Clinically Relevant Enterococcus Species by Direct Sequencing of groES and Spacer Region

The high interspecies variation and low intraspecies variation indicate that the groES and spacer sequences are more useful than groEL for identification of clinically relevant Enterococcus species.

Impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the microbial landscape of the New Orleans area

It is shown that fecal indicator microbe concentrations in offshore waters from Lake Pontchartrain returned to prehurricane concentrations within 2 months of the flooding induced by these hurricanes, suggesting that the fecal indicators observed in the sediment were from human fecal sources.
