Novel bacterial taxonomy and nomenclature revisions can have significant impacts on clinical practice, disease epidemiology, and veterinary microbiology laboratory operations. Expansion of research on the microbiota of humans, animals, and insects has significant potential impacts on the taxonomy of organisms of clinical interest.
Increased interest in farmed aquatic species, aquatic conservation measures, and microbial metabolic end-product utilization have translated into a need for awareness and recognition of novel microbial species and revisions to bacterial taxonomy. Because this need has largely been unmet, through a 4-year literature review, we present lists of novel and revised bacterial species (including members of the phylum
Planctomycetota
) derived from aquatic hosts that can serve as a baseline for future biennial summaries of taxonomic revisions in this field.
With improvement in laboratory diagnosis of
Mycoplasmoides genitalium
infection through molecular diagnostics, macrolide resistance determination within
M. genitalium
-positive patients is necessary. In this study, we report baseline parameters for an analyte-specific reagent (ASR) macrolide resistance real-time reverse transcriptase PCR on an open access analyzer and evaluated detection of macrolide resistance-mediated mutation (MRM) within 23S rRNA in a clinical specimen set.
Revisions and new additions to bacterial taxonomy can have a significant widespread impact on clinical practice, infectious disease epidemiology, veterinary microbiology laboratory operations, and wildlife conservation efforts. The expansion of genome sequencing technologies has revolutionized our knowledge of the microbiota of humans, animals, and insects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
