General Information:
Solobacterium moorei is a closely related species and on the basis of its position in the 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree appears to represents a novel species within the genus Bulleidia. The name Bulleidia would have precedence by prior publication under Rule 27 of the Bacteriological Code.
Cultivability:
Slow growth on Fastidious Anaerobe Agar + 5 % horse blood. After 7 days incubation, colonies are 0.7-0.9 mm in diameter, circular, entire, low convex, grey to off-white, opaque and glossy
Phenotypic Characteristics:
Gram positive short rods [1]. Obligate anaerobes. Ferment glucose and maltose. Metabolic end-products of glucose metabolism are moderate amounts of acetate and lactate and trace amounts of succinate. Arginine is hydrolysed. mol % G+C content of the DNA is 38.
Prevalence and Source:
Found in the human mouth
Disease Associations:
Isolated from subgingival plaque in periodontitis and from odontogenic infections [2,3,4].
