Draft Genome Sequence of the Novel Peptoniphilus sp. Strain ChDC B134, Isolated from a Human Periapical Abscess Lesion

Abstract

The genus Peptoniphilus comprises butyrate-producing, nonsaccharolytic species that use peptone and amino acids as major energy sources. The novel Peptoniphilus sp. strain ChDC B134 (=KCOM 1628) was isolated from a human periapical abscess lesion. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain.

Unusual cause of acute sinusitis and orbital abscess in COVID-19 positive patient: Case report

“…Peptoniphilus indolicus, a type of bacteria normally found in the vagina and stomach [ 1 ], was found within our patient’s orbit. There are now more than 15 Peptoniphilusspecies within the genus, seven of which were discovered in 2012 [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ]. At this juncture, no Peptoniphilus species have been reported in the orbit; Peptoniphilus species have most commonly been associated with diabetic skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, surgical site infections, and chorioamnionitis [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] ].…”

Bloodstream infections due to Peptoniphilus spp.: report of 15 cases

“…Recent implementation of non-biochemical methods including MALDI-TOF and 16S rDNA sequencing has allowed their accurate identification from a variety of clinical specimens. There are now more than 15 Peptoniphilus species within the genus, seven of which were discovered in 2012 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Several new Peptoniphilus spp.…”

“…Peptoniphilus indolicus, a type of bacteria normally found in the vagina and stomach 1 , was found within our patient's orbit. There are now more than 15 Peptoniphilus species within the genus, seven of which were discovered in 2012 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Still, up until now, none of the 15 species have been seen within the orbit.…”
