Luxibacter massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from the human gut microbiota.

An anaerobic facultative Gram-stain positive bacterium was isolated from human gut microbiota. Strain Marseille-P5551T was considered to be a new genus within the phylum Firmicutes, as it exhibits a 91.87% similarity level with Faecalicatena orotica (NR_117129.1), the phylogenetically closest related species. The draft genome size of strain Marseille-P5551T is 4 142 938 bp with 44.4% of G + C content. We hereby suggest the creation of Luxibacter massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., as a new bacterial genus.

Taxono-genomics and description of Haloimpatiens massiliensis sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from the gut of a healthy infant.

A polyphasic taxono-genomic strategy was used to describe a new bacterium, strain Marseille-P1935; isolated from the gut of a healthy infant. 16S rRNA sequencing showed that the isolate belongs to the genus Haloimpatiens in the family Clostridiaceae. Phenotypic analysis and whole-genome sequence analyses confirm the status of the new species. We propose the creation of the new species Haloimpatiens massiliensis strain Marseille-P1935T (= CSURP1935T; = DSM100591T).

Bartonella massiliensis sp. nov., a new bacterial species isolated from an Ornithodoros sonrai tick from Senegal.

Bartonella massiliensis sp. nov., strain OS09T (= CSURB624T = DSM 23169), is the type strain of Bartonella massiliensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Bartonella. It was isolated from a soft tick, Ornithodoros sonrai, vector of recurrent fever collected from Senegalese domestic rodent burrows. This strain is an aerobic, rod-shaped and Gram-negative bacterium. On the basis of taxonogenomic approach, we propose the creation of Bartonella massiliensis sp. nov.

Evaluating the effect of tariff on wastage and return of blood products in Kerman province.

BACKGROUND: In Iran blood products had been available to health care centers on free order to reduce the wastage they were tariffed in 2016. Thus, health care centers must pay for the blood products and take back the payment from the insurance. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the tariff on consumption, wastage and return rates of blood products in health care centers in Kerman province. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, demand, delivery and return rates of blood products (fresh frozen plasma, red blood cell and platelet) were examined in 23 health care centers and hospitals before and after the tariff. RESULTS: After the tariff in 2016, the return of unused units of fresh frozen plasma and platelet to the blood transfusion organization was increased and the increase was not statistically significant, but a significant increase was observed in red blood cell return rate and return/delivery ratio. CONCLUSION: Fresh frozen plasma and platelet return rates increased after the tariff resulting in less wastage of unused products but were not statistically meaningful. Tariff was highly effective on the wastage and return of red blood cell therefore it can be considered as a sparing action in the management of red blood cell.
