Gemella massiliensis sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from the human sputum.

Thanks to its ability to isolate previously uncultured bacterial species, culturomics has dynamized the study of the human microbiota. A new bacterial species, Gemella massiliensis Marseille-P3249, was isolated from a sputum sample of a healthy French man. Strain Marseille-P3249 is a facultative anaerobe, catalase-negative, Gram positive, coccus, and unable to sporulate.

sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from the human gut.

strain Marseille-P5638 (= CSUR P5638) is a new species from the genus and family which was isolated from the gut microbiota of a healthy individual.

Successful Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in a Patient Suffering From Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic and debilitating functional gastrointestinal disorder affecting 9%-23% of the population across the world. The relative efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on IBS symptoms was demonstrated in a double-blind, randomized study.

Methods: We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman suffering from IBS (abdominal pain, bloating, and abundant and disabling diarrhea, with 10-15 stools a day) and repetitive urinary tract infection (UTI; 5 episodes in 6 months, including 3 the last 2 months) for several years, generating an impaired quality of life.

Collinsella vaginalis sp. nov. strain Marseille-P2666, a new member of the Collinsella genus isolated from the genital tract of a patient suffering from bacterial vaginosis.

A strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non motile and non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium, strain Marseille-P2666, was isolated using the culturomics approach from a vaginal sample of a French patient suffering from bacterial vaginosis. Cells were saccharolytic and were negative for catalase, oxidase, urease, nitrate reduction, indole production, hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin. Strain Marseille-P2666 exhibited 97.
