Although Anoxybacillus and Geobacillus, two genera of thermophilic bacteria close to the genus Bacillus, have only been described recently, number species in these has increased rapidly. Four thermophilic, lipolytic strains (DR01, DR02, DR03 DR04) isolated from a hot spring Veracruz (Mexico), which could not be identified phenotypically, were subjected 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Three as belonging Anoxybacillus, but strain was Geobacillus pallidus. This result led us perform...

Five Aeromonas strains (848T T , 93M, 431E, 849T and 869N), which were isolated from bivalve molluscs recognized previously by numerical taxonomy as members of an unknown taxon, subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments showed that DNA strain 848T was <70 % similar (27–45 %) the type/reference current groups (HGs), but 93 93M.

Two strains of psychrotolerant bacteria, designated M7T and M5, isolated from Antarctic coastal marine environments were studied to determine their taxonomic position. The organisms comprised Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic cells that motile by means single polar flagella. Neither the bacterial isolates had a requirement for Na+. These two grew at temperatures ranging −4 30 °C. Both capable producing H2S thiosulfate able use sodium nitrate trimethylamine N-oxide as...

Aeromonas are autochthonous inhabitants of aquatic environments, including chlorinated and polluted waters, although they can also be isolated from a wide variety environmental clinical sources. They cause infections in vertebrates invertebrates considered to an emerging pathogen humans, producing intestinal extra-intestinal diseases.

The use of reference strains is a critical element for the quality control different assays, from development molecular methods to evaluation antimicrobial activities. Most used in these assays are not type and some them cited erroneously because subsequent reclassifications descriptions novel species. In this study, we propose that strain Aeromonas hydrophila CIP 57.50 be reclassified as salmonicida based on phenotypic characterization sequence analyses cpn60 , dnaJ gyrB rpoD genes.

Helicobacter pylori infects human stomachs of over half the world's population, evades immune response and establishes a chronic infection. Although most people remains asymptomatic, duodenal gastric ulcers, MALT lymphoma progression to cancer could be developed. Several virulence factors such as flagella, lipopolysaccharide, adhesins especially vacuolating cytotoxin VacA oncoprotein CagA have been described for H. pylori. Despite extensive published data on pylori, more research is needed...
