Because of the unexpected affiliation with the family Aquificaceae (from: http://www.bacterio.net/thermothrix.html, 'List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature'), the genus Thermothrix described in the family Burkholderiaceae is excluded from the 49.8 59.0-69.5 61.9-65.8 64.6-65.4 55-59 63-69 63.9-66.6 59¡2 59.8-65.0 40.3-49.4 *Growth at 42 8C.…”

Cellular Fatty Acid Composition of Lautropia mirabilis

“…determined (1, 2, 3). Gerner-Smidt et al suggested a possible role for this organism in the development of dental plaque (2). Our results suggest a potential for L. mirabilis to cause invasive disease, since five of our clinical isolates were obtained from normally sterile sites (blood, peritoneal fluid).…”

“…Lautropia mirabilis was first described by Gerner-Smidt et al in 1994 (2). This species is a motile facultatively anaerobic gram-negative coccus which ferments glucose, fructose, sucrose, and mannitol; reduces nitrate and nitrite; and produces positive reactions for oxidase, urease, and, sometimes weakly, catalase.…”

“…This species is a motile facultatively anaerobic gram-negative coccus which ferments glucose, fructose, sucrose, and mannitol; reduces nitrate and nitrite; and produces positive reactions for oxidase, urease, and, sometimes weakly, catalase. L. mirabilis displays an extremely polymorphic cell morphology with diameters ranging from with 1 to Ͼ10 m. Phylogenetic characterization based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis places this species in a separate branch of the beta-subclass of Proteobacteria most closely related to the genus Burkholderia (2). L. mirabilis has been recovered from various human sources, but its pathogenic potential is not well understood.…”

“…L. mirabilis has been recovered from various human sources, but its pathogenic potential is not well understood. Initially, it was isolated from oral and upper respiratory sites (2). Subsequently, it has been isolated as the predominant microorganism from the sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis (1) and from the oral cavities of children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (4).…”
