Introduction | The Eggerthellaceae are a family of Gram-positive, rod- or coccus-shaped Actinobacteria. It is the sole family within the order Eggerthellales. Members of this family are mostly anaerobic, non-motile, asaccharolytic and do not form spores. Eggerthellaceae species are commonly isolated from human and animal faeces and other human sources such as the colon, vagina, oral cavity and blood. |
Alternative Names | Paraeggerthella hongkongensis |
To revive Paraeggerthella hongkongensis from a frozen state, thaw the cryovial rapidly at 37°C and immediately transfer the contents to an anaerobic growth medium. Incubate under anaerobic conditions to ensure optimal recovery and viability of the bacteria.
The presence of Paraeggerthella hongkongensis can be confirmed using molecular techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing or species-specific PCR assays. These methods provide accurate identification and quantification of the bacterium in various samples.
The metabolic activity of Paraeggerthella hongkongensis can be studied using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze metabolite production. These methods help in understanding the metabolic pathways and their implications for human health.
Colonization efficiency can be assessed by administering Paraeggerthella hongkongensis to animal models and analyzing fecal samples using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and culture-based methods to measure bacterial load and distribution within the gut.
To maintain the viability of Paraeggerthella hongkongensis, it should be stored at -80°C in cryoprotectant solutions such as glycerol. Proper storage conditions are crucial to preserving the bacterial strain's integrity and functionality for future research applications.
