Ongoing Revolution in Bacteriology: Routine Identification of Bacteria by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry
Piseth Seng,Michel Drancourt,Freédésrique Gouriet,Bernard La Scola,Pierre-Edouard Fournier,Jean-Marc Rolain,Didier Raoult +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) to identify both selected bacteria and bacteria in select clinical situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Giant Virus in Amoebae
Bernard La Scola,Stéphane Audic,Catherine Robert,Liang Jungang,Xavier de Lamballerie,Michel Drancourt,Richard J. Birtles,Jean-Michel Claverie,Didier Raoult +8 more
TL;DR: During a study following a pneumonia outbreak in 1992, a microorganism growing in amoebae and resembling a small Gram-positive coccus was isolated from the water of a cooling tower in Bradford, England.
Journal ArticleDOI
rpoB sequence analysis as a novel basis for bacterial identification
TL;DR: RpoB is a powerful identification tool, which may be useful for universal bacterial identification, and the trees obtained with rpoB were more compatible with the currently accepted classification of Enterobacteriaceae than those obtained with 16S rRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
rpoB-Based Identification of Nonpigmented and Late-Pigmenting Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria
TL;DR: It is concluded that molecular identification by analysis of the 723-bp rpoB sequence is a rapid and accurate tool for identification of RGM.
Journal ArticleDOI
rpoB gene sequence-based characterization of emerging non-tuberculous mycobacteria with descriptions of Mycobacterium bolletii sp. nov., Mycobacterium phocaicum sp. nov. and Mycobacterium aubagnense sp. nov.
TL;DR: In this paper, 16S rRNA gene sequencing has contributed to the establishment of more than 45 novel species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria and to the description of emerging Mycobacterial infections.
