Biochemical and molecular taxonomy of gram-positive cocci isolated from skin of llamas
Original language description
Macrococci are gram positive,catalase and oxidase positive cocci inhabiting skin of horses and ponnies. Their pathogenicity is unknown. The genus Macrococcus was earmarked from the genus Staphylococcus and described in 1998. Eight strains isolated from the skin of Lama glama breeded in the ZOO in Brno were described and characterized in this work. All strains studied were gram positive and catalase and oxidase positive, mostly orange-pigmented cocci. Their biochemical traits were in full agreement withthe description of the genus Macrococcus. They differ from all hitherto described macrococci by their positive nitrate reduction,negative aesculin and DNA hydrolyses and negative glycerol acidification. The GC content of genomic DNAs were 45.1 - 52.2 %.Following molecular-genetic methods were done to clarify their taxonomic position: ribotyping,macrorestriction analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. All phenotype and genotype analysis results obtained divided studied strains into two ho
