“…The genera Capnocytophaga, Ornithobacterium and Riemerella, members of the Flavobacteriaceae, differ from the bacteria studied by their capnophilic metabolism. Bacteria of the genera Bergeyella, Ornithobacterium, Riemerella and Weeksella (Botha et al, 1989) represent solitary rRNA branches that are nonpigmented, while Arenibacter latericius is pigmented. The genera Empedobacter and Chryseobacterium also belong to separate rRNA branches, distinct by several phenotypic properties and a low DNA GjC content (Table 4).…”

“…117 Thus, the ABA decided to leave the rule uncodified as the committee contended that the rule was a doctrine that could be interpreted and applied on a case-by-case basis. 118 Gevurtz contends that the difficulty surrounding the attempt to define the rule stems from an incorrect premise. 119 This premise is the belief that there is a single rule, when in fact there is no single rule as the business judgment rule has a number of different meanings.…”

The office of director, by its very nature, imposes duties and responsibilities on its bearer. Taking into account the characteristics and nature of companies, it is inevitable that the scope of directors’ activities varies from company to company. A director, irrespective of the individual personality of the company, owes the company the duty of care and skill. Coupled with the duty of care and skill much emphasis, particularly in the 21st century, has been placed on the concept of corporate governance. It is within this context that the personal liability of company directors for mere errors of judgment must be considered. The object of part one of this article is to examine the characteristics of the American business judgment rule. Part 1 explores the origin of the rule and takes into account the various purposes that the rule fulfills in American law. The law relating to director liability in America is examined and the place of the business judgment rule in an American context is considered. Attention is paid to the rule’s basic requirements, the application of the rule and the subsequent consequences of the application thereof. Where possible, the requirements of the rule are illustrated through a discussion of case law. In part 2 the South African position relating to the director’s common-law duty of care and skill is considered. The Companies Act, recommendations of the King Committee, and the Department of Trade and Industry’s report on corporate lawreform are taken into account. The efficiency of the current law in South Africa is evaluated in light of the advantages and disadvantages of the importation of a foreign legal rule into South African law. In the conclusion an assessment is made of whether it is indeed desirable or necessary to import the business judgment rule into South African law.

“…Bergeyella (formerly Weeksella ) zoohelcum is an aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-motile, non-saccharolytic bacterium which is usually isolated from the upper respiratory tract of dogs, cats and other mammals [1–3]. Most reported cases of human infection by these bacteria are due to animal bites or are associated with prolonged exposure to pets [4–7].…”

Background Bergeyella zoohelcum is an aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium that is frequently isolated from the upper respiratory tract of dogs, cats and other mammals. Clinically, B. zoohelcum has been reported causing cellulitis, tenosynovitis, leg abscess and septicemia, which is closely connected with animal bites. Here we describe a case of bacteremia in an infective endocarditis (IE) patient caused by B. zoohelcum, in China.Case presentationA 27-year-old infective endocarditis woman who had no history of dog bite nor other mammal exposure suffered bacteremia caused by B. zoohelcum. This patient, without evidence of polymicrobial infection, was treated with cefuroxime and had a good outcome.Conclusions B. zoolhelcum bacteremia is rarely reported in IE patients. Our report expands the range of known bacterial causes of infective endocarditis.
