Medical microbiology is extremely reliant on the culture of bacteria from clinical specimens
and their subsequent identification by biochemical and phenotypic characteristics for the …

Spacer regions between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes of different dairy and probiotic lactic
acid bacteria were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with conserved …

Three computer software packages were written in the C++ language for the analysis of
numerical phenetic, 16S rRNA sequence and pyrolysis mass spectrometric data. The X …

M ycoplasmas (the trivial name for microorganisms belonging to the class Mollicutes) are the
smallest free-living, self-replicating bacteria, having diameters of 300 to 800 nm. These …

A variety of pathogens are involved in conjunctivitis in cats. In this study, the prevalence of
feline herpesvirus (FHV), Chlamydophila felis, mycoplasmas, and aerobic bacteria on the …

We recently reported cloning of Streptococcus anginosus (S. anginosus) DNA fragments

The feasibility of sequence analysis of the 16S-23S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic
spacer (ITS) for the identification of clinically relevant viridans group streptococci (VS) was …

In Southern blot analysis using Mycoplasma16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) as a probe, positive
signals were detected in DNA samples from surgical specimens of gastric cancers. The DNA …

Background: Upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) of cats is caused by a number of
pathogens, including Chlamydophila felis and Mycoplasma spp. For effective treatment of …
