ABSTRACT
Robinsoniella peoriensis is a Gram-positive bacterium which is anaerobic, spore-forming, and non-motile. It was initially isolated and characterized from feces and swine manure. Strains of this species have since been identified from different mammalian and non-mammalian gastrointestinal tracts. Strains have also been isolated from a variety of human infections, such as bacteremia, bone infections, and skin structures. R. peoriensis has recently been reported as causative for pyometra, which could result in death in the absence of sufficient antimicrobial treatment. However, to the authors knowledge, there has not been a single virulence factor identified. A major challenge of modern medicine is the failure of conventional procedures to characterize the capability of an emerging pathogen to cause disease. The goal of this study is to initially characterize the pathogenicity of this bacterium using a pathogenomics approach.(AU)
