RESUMO
Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on four Campylobacter-like organisms recovered from three seals and a porpoise. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the organisms represent a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Campylobacter, associated with a subcluster containing Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter lari. DNA-DNA hybridization studies confirmed that the bacteria belonged to a single species, for which the name Campylobacter insulaenigrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Campylobacter insulaenigrae sp. nov. is NCTC 12927(T) (=CCUG 48653(T)).

Family building with donor insemination (DI) is often perceived as stigmatizing and the secrecy surrounding the practice contributes to this perception. In recent years, patient organizations in several countries have started to challenge this stigma and marginalization. This paper reports on a professional group-work approach for couples in Germany using DI. Participants of four seminars with a total of 74 participants and a return rate of 89% were asked to report on their expectations of and experiences during the seminars. Participants were asked to comment on their views and perspectives regarding DI practice. The results indicate a need for more information on DI and for the opportunity to meet other couples in the same situation. Participants also argued for normalization and social acceptance for families built by DI. The group-work approach described in this paper contributes significantly towards fulfilling the needs of couples involved in DI.
