“…On the basis of DNA-DNA relatedness studies, supported by comparative analyses of 1 6S rRNAs, Stackebrandt et al (558,561) have proposed that the oerskoviae be removed to the genus Cellulomonas. The basis for this proposal is that Cellulomonas cellulans is more closely related to members of the genus Oerskovia than to other members of the genus Cellulomonas (558,561 (555) reported on the characteristics of 35 clinical isolates of the genus Oerskovia that were formerly included in group A-1 and A-2 Corynebacterium spp. Nine of the isolates were identified as 0. turbata, and 25 were identified as 0. xanthineolytica.…”

The aerobic actinomycetes are soil-inhabiting microorganisms that occur worldwide. In 1888, Nocard first recognized the pathogenic potential of this group of microorganisms. Since then, several aerobic actinomycetes have been a major source of interest for the commercial drug industry and have proved to be extremely useful microorganisms for producing novel antimicrobial agents. They have also been well known as potential veterinary pathogens affecting many different animal species. The medically important aerobic actinomycetes may cause significant morbidity and mortality, in particular in highly susceptible severely immunocompromised patients, including transplant recipients and patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. However, the diagnosis of these infections may be difficult, and effective antimicrobial therapy may be complicated by antimicrobial resistance. The taxonomy of these microorganisms has been problematic. In recent revisions of their classification, new pathogenic species have been recognized. The development of additional and more reliable diagnostic tests and of a standardized method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the application of molecular techniques for the diagnosis and subtyping of these microorganisms are needed to better diagnose and treat infected patients and to identify effective control measures for these unusual pathogens. We review the epidemiology and microbiology of the major medically important aerobic actinomycetes.

“…Basonym Nocardia cellulans. The following description is based on that of Nocardia cellulans DSM 43879 T (this study ; Stackebrandt & Keddie, 1986 ;Funke et al, 1995), Cellulomonas cartae DSM 20106, ' Corynebacterium manihot ' DSM 20155, Brevibacterium fermentans CIP 6611 and Brevibacterium lyticum ATCC 15921 (Stackebrandt & Kandler, 1980 ;Stackebrandt et al, 1982) and for Oerskovia xanthineolytica Funke et al, 1995). A primary mycelium is produced which fragments later in the growth cycle.…”

In addition, Cellulomonas (Oerskovia) turbata was affiliated to the genus as a consequence of the union of Cellulomonas and Oerskovia (Stackebrandt et al, 1982). The GenBank accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of Promicromonospora sukumoe is AJ272024.…”

“…The taxonomy of these two families has been the subject of important changes in recent years: species from the genus Oerskovia have been reclassified into the genus Cellulomonas (Stackebrandt et al, 1980(Stackebrandt et al, , 1982; the genus Rarobacter has been included in the new family Rarobacteraceae (Stackebrandt & Schumann, 2000); and Cellulomonas cellulans has been reclassified in the new genus Cellulosimicrobium (Schumann et al, 2001). This latter genus has been separated from the family Cellulomonadaceae (Schumann et al, 2001) and included in the family Promicromonosporaceae (Stackebrandt et al, 1997), which also includes the genus Promicromonospora.…”
