By: M. Cadenas n, R. Maggi n , P. Diniz n, K. Breitschwerdt  n, S. Sontakke* & E. Breithschwerdt n

author keywords: co-infection; fastidious bacteria; insect growth medium
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / growth & development; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Bacterial Infections / microbiology; Bacteriological Techniques / methods; Base Sequence; Culture Media / chemistry; DNA, Bacterial / chemistry; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; DNA, Bacterial / isolation & purification; DNA, Ribosomal / chemistry; DNA, Ribosomal / genetics; DNA, Ribosomal / isolation & purification; Humans; Molecular Sequence Data; Phylogeny; Polymerase Chain Reaction; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid
TL;DR: Despite the phylogenetic limitations of using partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing for species and strain identification, the investigational methodology described in this study may provide a complementary approach for the isolation and identification of bacteria from patient samples.

2006 journal article

Use of an insect cell culture growth medium to isolate bacteria from horses with effusive, fibrinous pericarditis: A preliminary study

Veterinary Microbiology, 121(1-2), 177–181.

By: S. Jones n , A. Valenzisi n, S. Sontakke n, K. Sprayberry*, R. Maggi n , B. Hegarty n, E. Breitschwerdt n 

author keywords: insect cell culture medium; mare reproductive loss syndrome; 16S rDNA; DNA sequencing
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Bacterial Infections / microbiology; Bacterial Infections / pathology; Bacterial Infections / veterinary; Culture Media; Culture Techniques / veterinary; Disease Outbreaks / veterinary; Horse Diseases / microbiology; Horse Diseases / pathology; Horses; Insecta / cytology; Insecta / microbiology; Kentucky / epidemiology; Pericardial Effusion / microbiology; Pericardial Effusion / pathology; Pericarditis / microbiology; Pericarditis / pathology; Pericarditis / veterinary; Pilot Projects; Retrospective Studies
TL;DR: Bacterial isolation from equine pericardial fluid samples was attempted using an insect cell culture growth medium (ICCGM), but a similar or novel caterpillar-associated bacteria was not identified; however, use of an ICCGM might enhance isolation of bacteria from equines pericARDial fluid.
