Further characteristics of Actinomyces weissii, a novel species isolated from the oral cavity of dogs.
Comparable to previously conducted phenotypical and genotypical investigations (Hijazin et al., 2011c), three strains of the newly described species Actinomyces weissii, isolated from infections of the oral cavity of three dogs could be classified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and by sequencing the target genes 23S rDNA and cpn60 as novel species of genus Actinomyces. The detection of peptidic spectra and both genotypic approaches might help to identify A. weissii in future and elucidate the role this species plays in infections of dogs.
