Rat-Bite Fever due to the genus .

Rat-bite fever (RBF) is a zoonotic infection and systemic febrile illness transmitted to humans by spp. contacts following a scratch, bite, or touching excrement, such as urine, feces, and oral secretions. Infection with members of the genus is the most common cause of this infectious disease.

Genome analysis of probiotic bacteria for antibiotic resistance genes.

To date, probiotic bacteria are used in the diet and have various clinical applications. There are reports of antibiotic resistance genes in these bacteria that can transfer to other commensal and pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to use whole-genome sequence analysis to identify antibiotic resistance genes in a group of bacterial with probiotic properties.

Genus Pseudonocardia: What we know about its biological properties, abilities and current application in biotechnology.

The genus Pseudonocardia belongs to a group of Actinomycetes, and is a member of the family Pseudonocardiacea. The members of this genus are aerobic, Gram-positive, non-motile bacteria that are commonly found in soil, plant and environment. Although this genus has a low clinical significance; however, it has an important role in biotechnology due to the production of secondary metabolites, some of which have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-tumour effects.

Characterization of the Rothia spp. and their role in human clinical infections.

The genus Rothia are emerging as opportunistic pathogens associated with various infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. This review describes the taxonomy, cell wall structure, pathogenesis, phenotypic and molecular characteristics, clinical diseases, treatment and, as well as, the related genera that may be misidentified by Rothia species.

Role of Williamsia and Segniliparus in human infections with the approach taxonomy, cultivation, and identification methods.

The genera Williamsia and Segniliparus are of aerobic actinomycetes and at the time of writing, they have 12 and 2 species, respectively. These genera cause various infections in humans. In this review, we surveyed their taxonomy, isolation, identification, as well as their role to cause human infections.

Antibiotic resistance genes in the Actinobacteria phylum.

The Actinobacteria phylum is one of the oldest bacterial phyla that have a significant role in medicine and biotechnology. There are a lot of genera in this phylum that are causing various types of infections in humans, animals, and plants. As well as antimicrobial agents that are used in medicine for infections treatment or prevention of infections, they have been discovered of various genera in this phylum.

Detection of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) in clinical samples of patients with external ocular infection.

Background And Objectives: is the main Gram-positive bacteria isolated from patients with ocular infections. Herein, we describe the pattern of antibiotic resistance, presence of resistance genes including and the cytotoxin gene in isolates collected from patients with external ocular infection.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 8 isolates were collected from 81 patients that suffered from eye damage.

Current taxonomy of Rhodococcus species and their role in infections.

Rhodococcus is a genus of obligate aerobic, Gram-positive, partially acid-fast, catalase-positive, non-motile, and none-endospore bacteria. The genus Rhodococcus was first introduced by Zopf. This bacterium can be isolated from various sources of the environment and can grow well in non-selective medium.

Nocardiosis from 1888 to 2017.

The genus Nocardia is an aerobic bacterium, Gram-positive and catalase positive that is in Nocardiaceae family. This bacterium first described by Edmond Nocard in 1888 and is not in human commensal bacteria. To date, nocardiosis incidence is increasing due to increase population growth rate, increase in patients with immune disorder diseases and immunocompromised patients.

Gordonia: isolation and identification in clinical samples and role in biotechnology.

Gordonia spp. are members of the actinomycete family, and the environment, especially soil, is the natural habitat of this genus of bacteria. Gordonia spp.

Role of Nocardia in Activated Sludge.

Activated sludge process is a biological process that is widely used in the domestic and industrial wastewater treatment in over the world. The foam formation is often reported in wastewater treatment plants which are related to this process. Some operational problems can be created by foaming, such as effluent quality deteriorates, the creation of malodorous, increased time requirements in order to plant maintenance, and in extreme cases, hazardous working conditions resulting from foam spilling out of the aeration basin and as well as increased in operational costs.

Nocardia isolation from clinical samples with the paraffin baiting technique.

Background: The genus Nocardia is a cause of infection in the lungs, skin, brain, cerebrospinal fluid, eyes, joints and kidneys. Nocardia isolation from polymicrobial specimens is difficult due to its slow growth. Several methods have been reported for Nocardia isolation from clinical samples.

DNA extraction from nocardia species for special genes analysis using PCR.

Background: Nocardia species have a complex cell wall structure similar to that of mycobacteria, and the extraction of DNA from this bacterium is extremely difficult. Currently, to identify Nocardia species particularly, it is essential to utilize molecular techniques.

Aims: In the present study, we investigated STET (sodium chloride-TRIS-EDTA-triton) buffer for the extraction of high-quality genomic DNA from 20 clinical and environmental isolates.
