This review provides a state-of-the-art description of the performance of Sanger cycle
sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene for routine identification of bacteria in the clinical …

Uncomplicated urinary‐tract infection (UTI) is most common in young, sexually active,
nonpregnant, premenopausal women. Gram‐negative bacteria are isolated from 75% to …

The application of phylogenetic taxonomic procedures led to improvements in the
classification of bacteria assigned to the phylum Actinobacteria but even so there remains a …

Actinomyces israelii has long been recognized as a causative agent of actinomycosis.
During the past 3 decades, a large number of novel Actinomyces species have been …

Clinical urine specimens are usually considered to be sterile when they do not yield
uropathogens using standard clinical cultivation procedures. Our aim was to test if the adult …

Since the 1950s, medical communities have been facing with emerging and reemerging
infectious diseases, and emerging pathogens are now considered to be a major …

The higher ranks of the class Actinobacteria were proposed and described in 1997. At each
rank, the taxa were delineated from each other solely on the basis of 16S rRNA gene …

Desde que se publicó la segunda edición de Pruebas Bioquímicas para la Identificación de
Bacterias de Importancia Clínica (1980), el campo de la bacteriología sufrió cambios …

Molecular, sequence-based environmental surveys of microorganisms have revealed a
large degree of previously uncharacterized diversity. However, nearly all studies of the …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …
