The Aerococcus genus now includes eight species of which A. viridans (1953) was the one originally described. In the last two decades additionally six species have been included in the genus: A. urinae (1992), A. christensenii (1999), A. urinae hominis (2001), A. sanguinicola (2001), A. urinae equi (reclassification of Pediococcus urinae equi, 2005), A. suis (2007), and A. vaginalis (2014) [3].. All species, except A. suis (from pigs), A. urinae equi (from horses) and A. vaginalis (from beef cow), have been found as pathogens in human clinical situations such as urogenital infections [4], bacteremia/septicaemia and infective endocarditis [5]. In addition single cases of soft tissue infections (phlegmon and balanitis), spondylodiscitis, hip abscess, lymphadenitis, acute pyelonephritis and peritonitis have been reported [6]. A. urinaemay be a possible reason for malodorous urine [7]. They may also appear as contaminants in clinical cultures. Studies from Europe have found a prevalence of A. urinae ...

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 ...

The urinary microbiota was shown to contain: a total of 217 bacterial isolates from 77 different genera were isolated from OAB patients, while 66 bacterial isolates from 33 different genera were isolated from control patients. Organisms isolated solely from OAB patient urines included Actinobaculum schaalii, Aerococcus urinae, Arthrobacter cumminsii, and Oligella urethralis; each has been reported to cause UTI ...

Hi Folks, Just a quick update on Noddy. The rodentologist has tested his urine and there was loads of protein in it, and also a lot of ketones. This is obviously a sign his kidneys are failing and would account for the weight loss. She also felt he was very dehydrated (which has made me feel a really bad Mum and very neglectful, although theres always water available), this was indicated by the ketones in his urine. The only other reason I can think of for there being ketones would be diabetes, but there was no glucose, which would have supported that argument ...

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 ...

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 ...

To many, it may seem that the lobsters most natural habitat is on a large, oval plate between a cup of drawn butter and a lemon wedge.. In fact, only a few of the hundreds of types of lobster are caught commercially. But those few species are some of the most heavily harvested creatures in the sea, and generate a multi-billion-dollar industry, with more than 200,000 tons (181,436 metric tons) of annual global catch.. The lobsters that most people know from their dinner plates are the American and European clawed lobsters Homarus americanus and Homarus gammarus. These are cold water species that live on either sides of the northern Atlantic Ocean. There are also tropical lobsters that are widely consumed, but these are generally clawless varieties called spiny and slipper lobsters.. Lobsters are ten-legged crustaceans closely related to shrimp and crabs. These benthic, or bottom-dwelling, creatures are found in all of the worlds oceans, as well as brackish environments and even freshwater. They ...

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 ...

We extracted data from two Irish lake surveys, Lough Neagh [11] and Lough Beg [12], on the presence of C. pseudogracilis at sites where either G. d. celticus or G. pulex were found separately, or where both Gammarus species were present together (n = 86); total abundances of Gammarus spp. in single and mixed species sites were similar [11,12]. We chose these lake datasets because all three species have been present for several decades and hence all species have had time to potentially colonize all sites [11,12]. For experiments, we collected G. d. celticus and G. pulex (males 14-15 mm body length; juveniles 4-6 mm; these species being equivalent in size) and female C. pseudogracilis (7-8 mm; this species being much smaller than the Gammarus spp.) from separate Isle of Man rivers, the Crogga, Middle and Colby, respectively. These rivers were similar with respect to water temperature, pH, conductivity and BOD5 (11.9-12.1°C, 7.0-7.2, 182-219 µS cm−1 and less than 2 mgl−1). Each species was ...
