..G. morbillorum is usually sensitive to beta-lactams and aminoglycosides. The present 2 cases raise concern that appropriate prophylaxis and empirical treatment may be more complicated than believed in the past...

..Gemella spp. should not be considered as trivial commensals of the mucous membranes, but appear as emerging pathogens involved in endocarditis, septic shock, and necrotizing pneumonia, as well as in serious intracranial infections...

..The patient completely recovered following intravenous therapy with ampicillin and metronidazole for 6 weeks...

..Diagnosis was confirmed by sequencing of 16S rRNA genes in heart valve tissue. This is the first report of Gemella endocarditis confirmed by molecular detection of bacterial genes in heart valve tissue...

..RESULTS: Four patients developed infection due to Gemella species. All responded to vancomycin or fortified aminoglycosides and broad-spectrum antibiotics. CONCLUSION: Gemella spp. can cause opportunistic infections in the eye...

..CONCLUSIONS: G. haemolysans can be a causative organism of infectious crystalline keratopathy. This infection can arise in a postkeratoplasty patient despite prophylaxis with a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone...

..A corneal biopsy may be diagnostic but may also promote healing by allowing direct access of antibiotics to deep-seated infected tissue and by altering the growth environment of the organism...

..7 %). Together with the phenotypic differences, these results supported the proposal of a novel species of the genus Salinicoccus, Salinicoccus kunmingensis sp. nov., with YIM Y15(T) (=DSM 17847(T) =CGMCC 1.6302(T)) as the type strain...

..It is concluded that the hsp60 gene may be an efficient alternative target for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on members of these genera...

..This is only the second reported case of Gemella morbillorum endocarditis in a patient with a prosthetic valve...

..A case of successfully treated Gemella morbillorum prosthetic valve endocarditis and a review of the relevant literature are presented...

..G.morbillorum endocarditis is probably under recognized, and has not been reported from our region. The case is described, and problems in the identification of the organism are discussed...

..We present the case of a cerebellar abscess by Gemella morbillorum in a 50 year-old man with inter-atrial communication dealt by surgical excision and antimicrobial therapy...

..PCR analysis of 16S rDNA and sequencing may identify pathogens to the species level directly from brain abscesses. This approach is rapid and is useful especially in the identification of slow-growing and fastidious organisms...

..Blood cultures revealed Gram-positive cocci that failed to type with Lancefield group antiserum. The identification of the organism was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing...

..analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain YIM-C678T belonged to the family Staphylococcaceae and was most closely related to the eight described species of the genus Salinicoccus with sequence ..

..analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2R53-5(T) belongs to the family Staphylococcaceae and was most closely related to Salinicoccus roseus DSM 5351(T) (96...

..In vivo, however, a predominance of the immune response to one species over the others occurred...

..To our knowledge, this manifestation of Gemella infection has not been previously reported. In the setting of malignancy, infectious pulmonary nodules must be distinguished from metastatic nodules in order to treat appropriately...

..We believe that tubular damage due to hematuria rather than the glomerular changes was the most likely cause of renal failure...

..Thoracic drainage and antibiotic therapy resulted in full recovery. We discuss previous cases of pleuropulmonary infections due to Gemella morbillorum and review the available literature of this rare occurrence...

..morbillorum is very rare, and only a few cases were reported. We experienced a case of liver abscess by G. morbillorum in a 56-year-old woman presented with fever. We report this case with a review of literatures...

..This is the first reported case of Ludwig's angina caused by G. morbillorum and emphasizes that the disease remains a potentially lethal infection...

..We describe a case of septic arthritis due to G. morbillorum occurring in an otherwise healthy 42-year old man and review previous reports of infection in the literature...

..The patient recovered uneventfully after catheter drainage and treatment with cefmetazole. This is the first case report of liver abscess caused by G. mobillorum in the English literature...

..Ten of 101 cases were caused by glycopeptide intermediate resistant strains in patients pretreated with multiple combination of antibiotics including vancomycin and shunt exchanges: 76% of strains were also oxacillin resistant...

..The patient was treated with ampicillin for 6 weeks with significant clinical improvement. This case highlights the fact that endocarditis prophylaxis should be considered in denture fixation for high risk patients...
