Bacteremia caused by Fusobacterium gonidiaformans in a puerperal patient. A case report an a literature review.

Fusobacterium gonidiaformans is an anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus rarely reported as a cause of human infection. We recently dealt with a woman with fever in whom this pathogen was isolated in pure culture in blood cultures in pure culture. We have also searched the literature for all cases of this disease.

Bacteremia caused by Veillonella parvula: Two case reports and a review of the literature.

Veillonella parvula is a non-motile gram-negative coccus that forms part of the normal microbiota in several body sites and which has been rarely isolated as cause of infections in human population, particularly in bacteremias. Here we give the overview of characteristics of genus Veillonella and the summary of its role in infections, particularly in bacteremia. We additionally report two patients with bacteremia due to V.

Compositional and functional analysis of the bacterial community of Mediterranean Leptosols under livestock grazing.

The composition and functioning of soil bacterial communities, as well as their responses to multiple perturbations, are not well understood in the terrestrial ecosystems. Our study focuses on the bacterial community of erosive and poorly developed soils (Haplic Leptosols) in Mediterranean rangelands of Extremadura (W Spain) with different grazing intensities. Leptosols from similar natural conditions were selected and sampled at two depths to determine the soil properties as well as the structure and activity of bacterial communities.

Identification of keystone taxa in root canals and periapical lesions of post-treatment endodontic infections: Next generation microbiome research.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse and compare the microbiome present in root canals and periapical lesions of teeth with post-treatment infections, and to identify the presence of keystone taxa in both habitats using next-generation sequencing analysis.

Methodology: Apices and periapical lesions of patients with post-treatment apical periodontitis were surgically extracted. Specimens were cryo-pulverized, bacterial DNA was extracted, and the V3-V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced using the Illumina Miseq platform.
