| Abstract |
This paper describes the bacteriological investigation of Dysgonomonas mossii and Dysgonomonas capnocytophagoides isolated at Shinshu University Hospital in Nagano. Both isolates were revealed to be facultativelly anaerobic Gram-negative coccobacilli and were able to grow in the presence of X-factor. D. mossii and D. capnocytophagoides were difficult to identify in biochemical tests by reason of these strains were similar in biological properties, precise identification of these bacteria required the analysis of homology of the 16S rRNA gene. Antibiotic susceptibility tests of D. capnocytophagoides showed MIC > 8 μg/mL for carbapenem. Isolation of D. mossii and D. capnocytophagoides from clinical samples are uncommon cases, accumulation of the case reports with the isolation of these species is inevitable for giving an account of the infections due to D. mossii and D. capnocytophagoides. |
