Journal ArticleDOI

D. Venes,Clay J. Cockerell,Philip M. Tierno,AlvinE. Friedman-Kien,Kwang S. Kim,Kenneth H. Wilson,Burt E. Anderson,Richard Frothingham,David A. Relman,J S Loutit,Thomas M. Schmidt,Stanley Falkow,Lucy S. Tompkins +12 more
TL;DR: The cause of bacillary angiomatosis is a previously uncharacterized rickettsia-like organism, closely related to R. quintana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal luminal bacteria, especially Bacteroides species, mediate chronic colitis, gastritis, and arthritis in HLA-B27/human beta2 microglobulin transgenic rats.
Heiko C. Rath,Hans H Herfarth,J S Ikeda,W B Grenther,T E Hamm,Edward Balish,J D Taurog,Robert E. Hammer,Kenneth H. Wilson,Ryan Balfour Sartor +9 more
TL;DR: Normal luminal bacteria predictably and uniformly induce chronic colonic, gastric and systemic inflammation in B27 transgenic F344 rats, but all bacterial species do not have equal activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplification of bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA with polymerase chain reaction.
TL;DR: This method should be useful for increasing the amounts of bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA sequences for the purposes of sequencing and probing, and should have a broad range of applications, including the detection and identification of known pathogens that are difficult to culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a new species associated with human ehrlichiosis.
TL;DR: The sequence comparisons indicate that the human ehrlichiosis agent is a new species most closely related to E. canis and more distantly related to other Ehrlichia spp, and it is proposed that this species be named EHRlichia chaffeensis sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human colonic biota studied by ribosomal DNA sequence analysis.
TL;DR: An established culture-based method with direct amplification and partial sequencing of cloned 16S rRNA genes from a human fecal specimen was compared, and there was good agreement between culturing bacteria and sampling rDNA directly.
