TL;DR: In this article, the 16S rRNA sequences of Kingella indologenes, Cardiobacterium hominis, and Bacteroides nodosus were determined by direct RNA sequencing, using a modified Sanger method.
Abstract: The 16S rRNA sequences of Kingella indologenes, Cardiobacterium hominis, and Bacteroides nodosus were determined by direct RNA sequencing, using a modified Sanger method. Sequence comparisons indicated that these three species represent a novel family in the gamma division of Proteobacteria. On the basis of these data, K. indologenes and B. nodosus cannot retain their current generic status as they are not closely related to other members of their assigned genera. Therefore, we propose transfer of K. indologenes to the new genus Suttonella as Suttonella indologenes and transfer of B. nodosus to the new genus Dichelobacter as Dichelobacter nodosus and assign the genera Cardiobacterium, Suttonella, and Dichelobacter to a new family, Cardiobacteriaceae, in the gamma division of Proteobacteria.

TL;DR: There was, therefore, no evidence for the presence of novel strains of D. nodosus compared with Australia suggesting the need for further investigation into farmers' views on the use of the commercial vaccine in Great Britain.

TL;DR: An alternative test for protease stability using gelatin, an inexpensive and convenient substrate, was described, which required less equipment and time than the hide powder tests, and simplified the testing of multiple samples.

TL;DR: While the predicted amino acid sequence of the M. nonliquefaciens tfpA pilin has conserved regions as compared to pilins of M. bovis and M. lacunata, it also shows similarities to both the type 4 pilin of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and the type 3 Pilin of Dichelobacter nodosus.
Abstract: Moraxella nonliquefaciens is a bacterium which is part of the normal flora of the human upper respiratory tract and is an occasional cause of disease. Using a previously cloned type 4 pilin gene (tfpQ) from Moraxella bovis as a hybridization probe, we have cloned an 826 bp Sau3AI fragment which contains an M. nonliquefaciens type 4 pilin gene (tfpA) from strain NCTC 7784. The pilin gene is expressed in Escherichia coli. We have examined NCTC 7784 and nine other M. nonliquefaciens strains by genomic Southern hybridization using tfpA as a probe, and they all appeared to have more than one pilin gene. While the predicted amino acid sequence of the M. nonliquefaciens tfpA pilin has conserved regions as compared to pilins of M. bovis and M. lacunata, it also shows similarities to both the type 4 pilin of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and the type 4 pilin of Dichelobacter nodosus (formerly Bacteroides nodosus).

TL;DR: Serotyping of the D nodosus strains showed that serovars Al, A2 and C were the most commonly isolated in Spain, while species belonging to the genus Prevotella were isolated from 96 cases.
Abstract: Four hundred and sixty strains of obligate anaerobes were isolated from 216 cases of ovine footrot distributed throughout Spain. The predominant species was Dichelobacter nodosus, which was isolated in 168 cases (77.8 per cent). A higher proportion of the strains of D nodosus than of the other strains had elastolytic activity, 118 of the 168 strains degrading elastin. Species belonging to the genus Prevotella were isolated from 96 cases (44.4 per cent). Serotyping of the D nodosus strains showed that serovars Al, A2 and C were the most commonly isolated in Spain.
