General Information: Isolated from a fatal human nocardiosis case at Washington DC, USA in the 1970s. Human pathogen. Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is a filamentous actinobacteria, frequently isolated from diseased human and animal tissues. N. cyriacigeorgica is the most prevalent species responsible for nocardiosis in North America, while placing fourth in France.
Subject: NC_014933:510164 Bacteroides helcogenes P 36-108 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Bacteroides helcogenes; Bacteroides; Bacteroidaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Host; Isolation: Pig faeces; Temp: Mesophile. This group of microbes constitute the most abundant members of the intestinal microflora of mammals. Typically they are symbionts, but they can become opportunistic pathogens in the peritoneal (intra-abdominal) cavity. This organism produces many extracellular enzymes which assist in the breakdown of complex plant polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose and host-derived polysaccharides such as mucopolysaccharides. This species has been isolated from abscesses in pigs.
