Jeikeium1
- Also, 21 conserved signature proteins are found only in members of cluster I. Another cluster has been proposed, consisting of C. jeikeium and C. urealyticum, which is supported by the presence of 19 distinct conserved signature proteins which are unique to these two species. (wikipedia.org)
Phylogenetic1

Infections2
- This is why, in case of major outbreaks, human and veterinary medicine must work jointly to examine infections and find the origin of contamination as soon as possible. (hygiene-in-practice.de)
- certain localized infections Note: Categories for "late effects" of infectious and parasitic diseases are to be found at 137. (cdc.gov)
Antibodies1
- During 1985-88, in sheep and goats, 7.01% of the animals were found positive for BTV antibodies on AGPT. (cswri.res.in)
Yersinia3
- Yersinia is a genus of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria from the Enterobacteriacae family that cause yersiniosis. (hygiene-in-practice.de)
- Of 18 known species, Yersinia (Y.) enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis cause disease in humans. (hygiene-in-practice.de)
- The phages exhibited relatively wide host ranges among Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and related species. (mdpi.com)
Bacteria3
- Corynebacterium (/kɔːˈraɪnəbækˌtɪəriəm, -ˈrɪn-/) is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria and most are aerobic. (wikipedia.org)
- These bacteria are now known as Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, and are thought to be associated with diaper rash due to their ability to convert urine to ammonia. (microgeninc.com)
- General Information: They may be found as members of the normal microflora of humans, where these bacteria find a suitable niche in virtually every anatomic site. (up.ac.za)
Actinobacteria1
- Corynebacterium is a genus of Gram-positive , facultatively anaerobic , non- motile , rod-shaped actinobacteria . (wikidoc.org)
Zoonoses1
- Both Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis are zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans and vice versa), where the main reservoir is found in animal species such as pigs and cattle, but also goats or dogs. (hygiene-in-practice.de)
Coryneform1
- Approximately 30 years ago, taxonomic changes were made to diverse genera previously included within the coryneform groups. (medscape.com)
Goats1
- The management system also found to affect the sero-prevalence of BTD and it was higher in migratory flocks (63.29% in sheep to 84.84% in goats) compared to stationary flocks (35.03% in sheep to 72.88% in goats). (cswri.res.in)
Colonies1
