Abstract

A new Moraxella strain was isolated from angular conjunctivitis. It is characterized by the ability to produce acid from several carbohydrates, by its ability to produce indole, and by a lack of catalase activity.

Staphylococcus pasteuri-specific oligonucleotide probes derived from a random amplified DNA fragment.

A rapid polymerase chain reaction method was developed to differentiate Staphylococcus pasteuri from other staphylococcal species, especially the phenotypically similar S. warneri. The oligonucleotide probes used as primers were designed from the sequence of a S. pasteuri random amplified polymorphic DNA fragment.

Rapid identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae by PCR amplification of ribosomal DNA spacer region.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the important human pathogens in clinical microbiology. A polymerase chain reaction assay was designed to detect and identify S. pneumoniae through amplification of the ribosomal DNA spacer regions between the pneumococcal 16S-23S ribosomal RNA genes. Thirty-two Streptococcus and non-Streptococcus strains were tested to verify the specificity of the assay, and only S. pneumoniae strains gave a positive reaction. This method is a powerful technique for the rapid identification of S. pneumoniae.
