A case of endocarditis causing severe aortic regurgitation in a 26-year-old man is reported. The infection responded to treatment with oxytetracycline followed by ampicillin, but the valvular damage led to progressive left ventricular failure. The valve was replaced with a fresh nutrient homograft and the patient made a good recovery. A normal aortic valve appeared to have been infected.

In Opinion 103, the request to place the name Ehrenberg 1832 (Approved Lists 1980) on the list of rejected names is denied because a neotype may be designated. Similarly, because a neotype may be designated, in Opinion 104 the request to place the name Döbereiner and Ruschel 1958 (Approved Lists 1980) on the list of rejected names is denied. In Opinion 105, it is emphasized that the name Fukuda . 2012 does not contravene the Code. The request to orthographically correct Fukuda . 2012 to corrig. Fukuda . 2012 is denied. Opinion 106 addresses two Requests for an Opinion and results in the placement of the epithet in (Morse 1912) Eberson 1918 (Approved Lists 1980) and (Morse 1912) Kämpfer . 2014 on the list of rejected specific and subspecific epithets. Since this removes all known available earlier synonyms of (Magnusson 1923) Goodfellow and Alderson 1977 (Approved Lists 1980), the request to conserve the epithet in this name is denied. In Opinion 107, Phillips and Perry 1976 (Approved Lists 1980) is placed on the list of rejected names as a . Opinion 108 denies the request to place Weiner . 2000 on the list of rejected names because the information provided to the Judicial Commission is not sufficient to draw a conclusion on this matter. In Opinion 109, which addresses three Requests for an Opinion, the Judicial Commission denies the requests to place the names Shivaji . 2006, Shivaji . 2006 and Shivaji . 2006 on the list of rejected names. Instead, it is concluded that these three names had not met the requirements for valid publication. Likewise, the Judicial Commission concludes in Opinion 110 that the name corrig. Greub and Raoult 2006 had not met the requirements for valid publication. The Judicial Commission reaffirms in Opinion 111 that Zellner . 1988 is the nomenclatural type of Zellner . 1988 and further emphasizes that the species was not in danger of losing this status. These Opinions were ratified by the voting members of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes.

Proposal of Spirillum winogradskyi sp. nov., a novel microaerophilic species, an emended description of the genus Spirillum and Request for an Opinion regarding the status of the species Spirillum volutans Ehrenberg 1832.
A novel obligately organotrophic, facultatively microaerophilic spirillum, designated strain D-427(T), was isolated from sulfidic sludge of a municipal wastewater-treatment plant. Cells were Gram-negative, large and highly motile due to bipolar tufts of flagella covered with mucous sheaths. Coccoid cells were sometimes formed. Strain D-427(T) grew optimally at pH 7.5-7.8 and 28 degrees C in the presence of 2 % O(2) in the gas phase. The organism showed oxidase and very low catalase activity. The isolate grew chemo-organotrophically with a limited number of organic acids as substrates. The DNA G+C content was 38.0 mol% (T(m)). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed strain D-427(T) in the genus Spirillum within the class Betaproteobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain D-427(T) and Spirillum volutans ATCC 19554(T), the type strain of the single species of the genus, was 98.6 %. The low level of DNA-DNA hybridization and different phenotypic properties indicate that strain D-427(T) is clearly distinguishable from Spirillum volutans. No strain of S. volutans is available from any established culture collection or from the authors who described this species. Therefore, on the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data and the fact that the type and single species of the genus Spirillum cannot be included in any scientific study, since the type strain has been lost, we propose to assign strain D-427(T) as a novel species of the genus Spirillum, Spirillum winogradskyi sp. nov. (type strain D-427(T) =DSM 12756(T) =VKM B-2518(T)), and we request that the Judicial Commission place the name Spirillum volutans on the list of rejected names if a suitable type strain is not found or a neotype is not proposed within 2 years following the publication of this paper. An emended description of the genus Spirillum is also provided.

The ultrastructure of a magnetotactic bacterium (strain MS-1) was examined by transmission, scanning, and scanning-transmission electron microscopy. The organism resembled other spirilla in general cell morphology, although some differences were detected at the ultrastructural level. Electron-dense particles within magnetotactic cells were shown by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis to be localizations containing iron. A non-magnetotactic variant of strain MS-1 lacked these novel bacterial inclusion bodies. A chain of these particles traversed each magnetotactic cell in a specific arrangement that was consistent from cell to cell, seemingly associated with the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane. Each particle was surrounded by an electron-dense layer separated from the particle surface by an electron-transparent region. The term "magnetosome" is proposed for the electron-dense particles with their enveloping layer(s) as found in this and other magnetotactic bacteria.

Review
Rat bite fever (RBF) is a bacterial zoonosis for which two causal bacterial species have been identified: Streptobacillis moniliformis and Spirillum minus. Haverhill fever (HF) is a form of S. moniliformis infection believed to develop after ingestion of contaminated food or water. Here the infectious agents, their host species, pathogenicity (virulence factors and host susceptibility), diagnostic methods, therapy, epidemiology, transmission and prevention are described. Special emphasis is given on information from the field of laboratory animal microbiology and suggestions for future research.
