On the other hand, strains belonging to Bacillus were isolated less frequently using the FSC isolation method (2 strains) than the APD isolation method (14 strains).
The remaining serovars were isolated less frequently and less regularly.
Of the atypical bacteria, M. pneumoniae (up to 61.3 % of patients within ten studies), L. pneumophila (up to 20.1 % of patients within 12 studies) and C. pneumoniae (up to 9.9%% of patients within nine studies) were frequently identified in patients with CAP, whereas C. burnetii was isolated less frequently (up to 3.4%% of patients within six studies).
In contrast with other studies on cystic fibrosis populations composed of teenagers and adults (2, 4 ), we found that the M. avium complex was isolated less frequently, with an overall prevalence (percentage of patients with at least one positive nontuberculous mycobacterial culture) of approximately 2%.
C. jejuni was the predominant species (78%), with C. coli, C. fetus, C. lari, and C. upsaliensis isolated less frequently.
It also has been isolated, although less frequently, from ground beef, pork, and turkey meat (13 – 15 ) and from clinical samples from various animal species (12 ).
Still, the hierarchical format used in the Salmonella MassCode array was able to indicate samples contaminated with Salmonella isolates less frequently encountered in food, while subtyping to the serovar level samples contaminated with some salmonellae more frequently encountered.
Compared to nasal carriage isolates, infection isolates less frequently possessed egc, tst and hlg genes, were more commonly susceptible to erythromycin (91% vs. 54%), and had shorter mean doubling times (38 min vs. 55 min).
However, even with samples which had been shown by molecular techniques to be dominated by "Ferrovum myxofaciens" and Gallionella-related bacteria, these bacteria were isolated considerably less frequently than Acidithiobacillus spp. on iFeo.
In the rest of the Europe, it has been isolated or detected less frequently, with low prevalence in ticks (30, 35, 36 ).
