“…In case 15 there was also endocarditis which resolved with vancomycin therapy. The association between C. jeikeium infection and endocarditis has been previously reported [11]. In this patient there was antibody against all 16 C. jeikeium antigenic bands (Fig.…”

SUMMARYCorynebacterium jeikeiumcauses septicaemia in neutropenic patients usually after colonizing intravenous lines. This paper reports the results of immunoblotting sera from 14 patients with aC. jeikeiumsepticaemia. Recovery from the septicaemia was associated with production of both IgM and IgG against antigenic bands of 50, 52 and 110 kDa. Antibody against the 110 kDa band was present in controls but the antibody against the 50 and 52 kDa was specific to those patients who had on-going or previousC. jeikeiuminfection. A case ofC. jeikeiumendocarditis is also presented and here recovery was associated with seroconversion to the 50 and 52 kDa bands.

“…The high degree of homogeneity of C. jeikeium isolates as judged by SDS-PAGE and DNA-DNA hybridization [11] made it appropriate to study the antibody response in neutropenia against a single clinical isolate. The most striking responses were the antibody changes against the bands at 50, 52 and 110 kDa.…”

“…(iv) C. jeikeium (formerly "Corynebacterium group JK") was isolated from human blood and was associated with bacterial endocarditis following cardiac surgery (200). C. jeikeium is part of the normal human skin flora, particularly in the axillary, inguinal, and rectal areas (98).…”

SUMMARY Actinobacteria constitute one of the largest phyla among Bacteria and represent gram-positive bacteria with a high G+C content in their DNA. This bacterial group includes microorganisms exhibiting a wide spectrum of morphologies, from coccoid to fragmenting hyphal forms, as well as possessing highly variable physiological and metabolic properties. Furthermore, Actinobacteria members have adopted different lifestyles, and can be pathogens (e.g., Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Tropheryma, and Propionibacterium), soil inhabitants (Streptomyces), plant commensals (Leifsonia), or gastrointestinal commensals (Bifidobacterium). The divergence of Actinobacteria from other bacteria is ancient, making it impossible to identify the phylogenetically closest bacterial group to Actinobacteria. Genome sequence analysis has revolutionized every aspect of bacterial biology by enhancing the understanding of the genetics, physiology, and evolutionary development of bacteria. Various actinobacterial genomes have been sequenced, revealing a wide genomic heterogeneity probably as a reflection of their biodiversity. This review provides an account of the recent explosion of actinobacterial genomics data and an attempt to place this in a biological and evolutionary context.
