catalase-positive and oxidase-negative Gram-negative coccobacilli, usually occurring in diploid formation or in chains of variable length that grow on usual laboratory media[10]. The taxonomic history ofAcinetobacterspp. appears confusing since they have been classified variously, moving from the family...
BAPs are large multidomain proteins playing a role in the process of biofilm formation both in Gram-negative and Gram- positive bacteria [18, 19]. These proteins exhibit poor se- quence similarity, but share structural similarities, as they are internally repetitious and feature multiple (3 to ...
Acinetobacter, belonging to γ-Proteobacteria andPseudomonadalesorder, is a genus of gram-negative, oxidase-negative, and strictly aerobic bacteria. The genus includes both nonpathogenic and pathogenic species (de Berardinis et al.2009).Acinetobacterspecies prevail in natural environments, including soils...
Representatives of the genus Acinetobacter are Gram-negative bacteria, aerobic, non-fermenting, non-fastidious, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and have a DNA GC content of 34.9–47%1. Members of this genus can be isolated from a broad range of different environments, including water, soil ...
Effectiveness of the antibiotic lock therapy for the treatment of port-related enterococci, Gram-negative, or Gram-positive bacilli bloodstream infections. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 2009. : 10.1016/j.diagmicrobio.2008.10.004 ....
These two reports suggest that there are underlying mechanisms in common between both types of bacteria (Gram positive or negative) that play a role in high transforma- tion efficiency in stationary phase. For example, membranes and/or the cell wall of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative ...
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile bacterial strain designated 1NM-4(T) was isolated from an abandoned lead-zinc ore mine site in Mei County, Meizhou, Guangdong Province, southern China. The isolate was light yellow, strictly aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analyses ...
A Gram-negative bacterial strain, designated WB1 T , was isolated from a domestic refrigerator in Guangzhou, PR China. Cells of strain WB1 T were oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile coccobacilli with peritrichous fimbriae-like structures. The ...
Microbiologically, it is nonmotile, catalase-positive, and oxidase-negative. In standard cultures, it appears as broad, short, gram-negative rods in rapid growth phase but a more coccobacillary shape in stationary phase. They do not reduce nitrate or ferment glucose.7Those proven to be ...
(CHROMagar; Paris, France) is a chromogenic media recently developed for the rapid identification of MDRA. baumannii. It is an agar plate containing antimicrobial agents which inhibit the growth of most Gram-positive organisms as well as carbapenem-susceptible Gram-negative bacilli. In peri-anal ...
