Aerococcus is a genus in the phylum Firmicutes (Bacteria). The genus was first identified in 1953 from samples of air and dust as a catalase-negative, Gram-positive coccus that grew in small clusters. They were subsequently found in hospital environments and meat-curing brines. It has been difficult to identify as it resembles alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus on blood agar plates and is difficult to identify by biochemical means. Sequencing of 16S rRNA has become the gold standard for identification, but other techniques such as MALDI-TOF have also been useful for identifying both the genus and species. The name Aerococcus derives from the Greek aer, aeros (ἀήρ, ἀέρος), air; New Latin coccus (from Greekkokkos (κόκκος)), a berry; New Latin Aerococcus, air coccus. The name was given based on its round shape and that it was first discovered in air samples. The genus contains these species: A. christensenii Collins et al., 1999, named after the Danish microbiologist Jens J. Christensen ...

The pentose phosphate pathway is a process of glucose turnover that produces NADPH as reducing equivalents and pentoses as essential parts of nucleotides. There are two different phases in the pathway. One is irreversible oxidative phase in which glucose-6P is converted to ribulose-5P by oxidative decarboxylation, and NADPH is generated [MD:M00006]. The other is reversible non-oxidative phase in which phosphorylated sugars are interconverted to generate xylulose-5P, ribulose-5P, and ribose-5P [MD:M00007]. Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) formed from ribose-5P [MD:M00005] is an activated compound used in the biosynthesis of histidine and purine/pyrimidine nucleotides. This pathway map also shows the Entner-Doudoroff pathway where 6-P-gluconate is dehydrated and then cleaved into pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3P [MD:M00008 ...

I am just taking a stab at this!* I have no experience with this but have been thinking about it! Ive done a little bit of research on aerococcus viridans and it seems as though its not only an airborne bacteria but is normally confused with Streptococcus and Staphylococcus as they have a lot of the same characteristics. Baytril doesnt kill either of these, but Septrin (Bactrim) does. How long was he on Bactrim? 10-14 days is normal to clear up. But if its something worse, it can be given up to 6 weeks! Which Im in the process of now ...

A 56-year-old man presented with acute amaurosis in his left eye (OS) associated with temperature and malaise. He was under antibiotic treatment for a urinary infection secondary to phimosis. Ophthalmologist exploration revealed: Visual acuity in his right eye (OD)=1 and amaurosis in his OS. Fundoscopy examination showed yellowish-white retinal foci around the macula in his OD and cherry red spot in his OS. The patient was suspected of having a systemic infection with septic emboli in both eyes. Clinical evaluation was completed by an internist with diagnosis of IE. The patient underwent heart surgery with mitral valve replacement. The microbiologist culture of the valve revealed an infection due to aerococcus urinae. All blood tests performed presented normal ranges. The patient has been monitorized from the time of referral to the present day. Fluorescein angiography revealed macular ischaemia in his OS without ischaemic foci in his OD. Visual fields (VF) showed a total central loss of ...

Organisms isolated solely from OAB patient urines included Actinobaculum schaalii, Aerococcus urinae, Arthrobacter cumminsii, and Oligella urethralis; each has been reported to cause UTI ...

Well, Noddys no better and no worse, as far as I can tell, although he is again getting more difficult to syringe feed. I simply cannot get to see another vet for at least a week, because of work and other commitments, however, Ive managed to speak to the rodentologist who saw him earlier this year and shes going to have a look at him on Monday. She knows a local vet who can X-ray (I believe without GA) and who also has loads of experience of dealing with bladder sludge and stones, should that be necessary. Hopefully, there will be no major change over the weekend, and we can get a sensible, non-patronising opinion from her on Monday. I just really need to know hes not in pain, and Im not missing something that could be put right ...

ABSTRACT: This paper provides the first report of the intersex (ovotestis) condition in the European lobster Homarus gammarus. A single specimen (10% of males sampled) presenting the condition was discovered as part of routine sampling, from the Weymouth Bay region of the English Channel, UK. The lobster presented externally as a male, but upon histological examination was seen to contain an ovotestis, containing elements of both male and female gonadal tissue. Previtellogenic oocytes were present in several otherwise normal seminiferous tubules throughout the testis. The seminiferous tubules were also engaged in the production of apparently normal sperm lineages, and mature spermatozoa were present within the tubule lumens. In some cases, oocytes were in direct contact with mature spermatozoa within the same seminiferous tubules. The significance of this finding is placed into context with a previous observation of elevated intersexuality in the congeneric species H. americanus collected from ...

Heres some more pictures of the massive lobster Ian saw when he was hanging around the docks at Port Askaig the other day. It really is a monster, we can only hope its size and novelty value saved it from the pot. Apparently the largest European lobster (Homarus gammarus) specimen on record measured 1.26m and weighed 9.3kg (20lb 8oz). Caught in 1931 in Fowey, England, the exoskeletal shell of its crushing claw alone weighed 1.2kg ...

Keep in mind the age of the flock when implementing a litter management strategy. Recall that young turkeys (less than 10 weeks) produce less body heat than older birds (13 weeks or older). This means (obviously) that during cooler temperatures additional heat must be added to maintain an ideal growth environment. Although fuel is expensive, the addition of extra heat not only warms the birds, it increases the capacity of the air to remove moisture. If no supplemental heat is added to turkeys 10 weeks old or less, the capacity of the air will be inadequate to remove the moisture exhaled and excreted by the birds. In contrast, in turkeys of 13 weeks or older, the heat produced by the bird is adequate to remove the excess moisture. Thus, properly maintaining temperatures and adequately ventilating are critical to good air quality in the turkey house. Good air quality is important 24 hours per day throughout the flock, not just when someone is working in the house or on days the service tech visits ...

All experiments were performed on the European lobster H. gammarus, weighing between 300 and 700 gm (n = 46), in the intermolt stage. Lobsters were obtained from local suppliers and acclimated in the laboratory for at least 1 week. They were maintained in aerated seawater tanks (salinity = 30-32‰) at temperatures ranging from 8-14°C and fed weekly with fish meat. Lobsters were anesthetized by chilling in ice for 30-45 min before dissection.. Vascular anatomy. Experiments were performed on five animals. The STNS consists of four interconnected ganglia, including the STG (contains ∼30 neurons), two commissural ganglia (CoGs) (containing ∼500 neurons each), and the esophageal ganglion (OG) (contains ∼15 neurons). The microcirculation in the STNS ganglia was traced by 1 ml injections of India ink into the heart (Fig.1 A). Using this technique, the black-labeled arterial blood first reaches the STG, which is located in the lumen of the ophthalmic artery at a distance of 3-5 cm from the heart ...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a promising family of food-grade organisms for heterologous protein production due to its Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status. Representative genera of LAB include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, Aerococcus, Leuconostoc, Oenococcus and Pediococcus [1]. Traditionally, LAB were utilized in food as starter cultures for fermentation and as probiotics [2]. Studies of LAB and host interactions have also associated LAB directly with cellular activities of the gut, such as pathogen control, immunostimulation and maintaining a healthy microflora [3, 4]. Combined with their traditional roles in food fermentation, beneficial gut properties, and resistance to harsh gut conditions, additional advantages such as LABs ability to secrete recombinant proteins while possessing fewer proteases, compared to traditional workhorses, such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, have made them attractive targets for recombinant cell factories and live vectors for ...

The genus Gammarus (Amphipoda) is one of the most speciose genera of Crustacea, yet much uncertainty remains concerning taxonomy and systematic relationships, particularly for brackish and marine forms. We used DNA barcode sequences from the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene to probe the taxonomy of prominent members of marine and brackish water Gammarus of the North Atlantic, Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Seas. We investigated 16 putative Gammarus spp. at an average number of 9 specimens per species. This constitutes the most taxonomically and geographically comprehensive molecular study of marine Gammarus to date. Average between-species sequence divergence (26.8%) was much higher than intraspecific distances (0.8%), enabling clear molecular species identification and highlighting several possible misidentifications from previously published studies. Specimens of Gammarus aequicauda and G. insensibilis from the Black Sea were at least 14% distant from their putative ...
