Solobacterium mooreiRANK: SpeciesTAXONOMY: Terrabacteria group -> Firmicutes -> Erysipelotrichia -> Erysipelotrichales -> Erysipelotrichaceae -> Solobacterium -> Solobacterium moorei OVERVIEW: Solobacterium moorei is a sufficiently close phylogenetic relative of Bulleidia extructa for the two species to be in the same genus. No formal proposal has yet been made but the name Bulleidia would take precedence by prior publication.After 7 days incubation on Fastidious Anaerobe Agar plates (incorporating 5 % horse blood), colonies are 1 mm in diameter, circular, entire, translucent and umbonate. Growth in broth media is markedly stimulated by the addition of 0.5 % Tween 80 in the presence of fermentable sugars.Isolated from the human tongue and dental plaque. It is a member of only a relatively small number of species that are found in both the mouth and fecesHas been associated with halitosis [2,3] and other infections of dental origin [4,5]. There are case reports of this organism causing septicaemia and vascular infections of various types.Identified as a constituent of the oral microbiome by Human Oral Microbiome Database. Identified as constituent of vaginal microbiome. [PMID:23282177] This species has been identified as a resident in the human gastrointestinal tract based on the phylogenetic framework of its small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences.[PMC 4262072] |
