The taxonomic position of a Gram-positive coccus, designated strain CAU 28 T , isolated from activated sludge foam was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Based on its cellular morphology and the results of biochemical tests, strain CAU 28 T was identified tentatively as a member of the genus Lactococcus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that levels of similarity between strain CAU 28 T and the type strains of recognized Lactococcus species ranged from 90.4 to 97.2 %. DNA-DNA hybridization studies showed that strain CAU 28 T displayed less than 26.1 % relatedness to the type strains of recognized Lactococcus species. The rep-PCR fingerprints revealed that strain CAU 28 T was well separated from reference Lactococcus species. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data indicate that strain CAU 28 T represents a novel species of the genus Lactococcus, for which the name Lactococcus chungangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 28 T (5KCTC 13185 T 5CCUG 55099 T ).Lactococcus Schleifer et al. 1986 was first established as a separate genus distinct from the genus Streptococcus by Schleifer et al. (1985). At the time of writing, Lactococcus comprises five recognized species (Euzéby, 1997; Schleifer et al. 1986. Members of the genus Lactococcus have been identified as lactic acid bacteria that contribute significantly to the properties of fermented dairy products while others produce antimicrobial compounds. Members of the genus have been isolated largely from food-related sources and are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) organisms (Salminen et al., 1998). However, rare cases of invasive disease in humans, sometimes severe, have been reported in association with L. garvieae (Vinh et al., 2006;Wang et al., 2007; Yiu et al., 2007) and L. lactis (Mannion & Rothburn, 1990) infections. The case study by Wang et al. (2007) raised awareness of a potential risk factor for gastrointestinal disease from L. garvieae linked to the consumption of raw seafood (squid) in the summer months, although their 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis may not have been the best method of establishing an epidemiological link. The exact source of infection in squid and the farm of its origin could not be identified, and a much larger study is needed to confirm risk factors for potential gastrointestinal infection with L. garvieae. Several reports show that L. garvieae is an important pathogen of fish, squid and prawns, causing economic losses both in marine and in freshwater aquaculture (Carson et al., 1993;Chen et al., 2001Chen et al., , 2002Pereira et al., 2004; Vendrell et al., 2006).

“…Conventional test result inconsistencies among isolates can be attributed to variability because of different clinical sources (Eldar et al, 1999). The S. agalactiae and L. garvieae ATCC type isolates were isolated from terrestrial mammals (McDonald and McDonald, 1975;Collins et al, 1983), and differences in environmental, geographic, and mammalian sources may factor into the phenotypic or biochemical characteristics of the bacteria. However, the characteristics presented in this paper should facilitate future identification of S. agalactiae and L. garvieae according to phenotypic and biochemical properties.…”

“…Streptococcus agalactiae is a known pathogen of fish and can cause clinical and histopathologic changes, including exophthalmia, meningoencephalitis, hepatocyte vacuolization and necrosis, and splenic necrosis and congestion (Rasheed et al, 1985;Eldar et al, 1994;Evans et al, 2002a). Further, S. agalactiae is also a well-established pathogen of mammals, including humans and cows (Collins et al, 1983;Elliott et al, 1991;Bohnsack et al, 2004;Lindahl et al, 2005). Streptococcal bacteria have been associated with marine mammal morbidity and mortality, often following the development of cutaneous lesions, severe bronchopneumonia, metritis, and septicemia (Higgins et al, 1980;Howard et al, 1983;Dunn et al, 2001).…”

“…Streptococcus agalactiae causes neonatal meningitis in humans and mastitis in cows (Elliott et al, 1990;Bohnsack et al, 2004;Lindahl et al, 2005). Lactococcus garvieae has been isolated from clinical specimens of human skin, blood, and urine and is also a known etiological agent of mastitis in cows (Collins et al, 1983;Elliott et al, 1991;Vela et al, 2000). Furthermore, GBS organisms have been shown to cause significant mortalities among numerous wild and cultured fish species, including menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) (Plumb et al, 1974), bullminnows (Fundulus grandis) (Rasheed and Plumb, 1984), striped bass (Morone saxatilis) (Baya et al, 1990), mullet (Liza klunzingeri), and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (Evans et al, 2002a).…”

ABSTRACT:The isolation and characterization of two bacterial species, Streptococcus agalactiae and Lactococcus garvieae, previously unreported in wild marine mammals are described from a freshly dead bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, from Kuwait Bay, Kuwait, in September 2001. Conventional and rapid identification systems were used to determine that isolates from muscle and kidney were S. agalactiae and L. garvieae, respectively. The isolates were grampositive, catalase-negative, oxidase-negative, nonhemolytic cocci. The S. agalactiae was serotyped to group antigen B, whereas the L. garvieae could not be assigned to any serogroup. These Kuwait isolates displayed considerable homogeneity with corresponding American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) type isolates. Although the dolphin S. agalactiae isolate was nonhemolytic, it was biochemically similar to S. agalactiae isolated from mullet sampled in the concurrent Kuwait Bay fish kill. Some biochemical heterogeneity was observed between the dolphin isolates and corresponding mammalian ATCC type isolates, especially with Voges Proskauer, alaninephenylanaline-proline arylamidase, and alpha-galactosidase tests. Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, experimentally infected with the dolphin S. agalactiae and L. garvieae isolates experienced 90% and 0% mortalities, respectively. This is the first isolation of S. agalactiae and L. garvieae from a wild marine mammal, and the microbial characteristics established here provide pertinent information for the future isolation of these bacteria.

“…garvieae was first isolated from cases of bovine mastitis (Collins et al 1983), thereafter, from clinical samples of human blood, urine and skin (Vinh et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2007) and different kinds of food products such as fermented milk (El-Baradei et al, 2008) cheeses (Alegria et al, 2009;El-Baradei et al, 2007) and meat products (Aquilanti et al, 2007). Although, the pathogenic mechanisms of L. garvieae are poorly understood, this study investigated its sensitivity to different types of antibiotics.…”

This study investigated the antibiotic resistance profile of the L. garvieae isolated strains from Jordanian dairy products. Disk diffusion method was used. In particular, different antibiotics were tested against L. garvieae; the antibiotic disks were Trimethoprim (5 µg), Clindamycin (2 µg), Nitrofurantoin (300 µg), Erythromycin (15 µg), Ampicillin (15 µg), Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (1.25/23.75 µg Polymyxin B (300U) and Tetracycline (30 µg). The results indicated high and statistically significant effects of Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin and Trimethoprim/Sulfamthoxazole on L. garvieae. Trimethoprim had the greatest antimicrobial effect on L. garvieae strains. All of the strains were sensitive to this antibiotic. Trimethoprim showed 20 mm inhibition zone in some strains. On the other hand, there were no antibiotic effects of Clindamycin and Polymyxin B on L. garvieae. Slight and statistically insignificant effects were found of other tested antibiotics. The study recommended using Trimethoprim antibiotic against L. garvieae because it inhibited its growths in all isolated cultures.
