| relationship between bacterial colonisation and the frequency, character, and severity of copd exacerbations. | patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) are prone to frequent exacerbations which are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. stable copd patients often have lower airway bacterial colonisation which may be an important stimulus to airway inflammation and thereby modulate exacerbation frequency. | 2002 | 12200518 |
| the italian epidemiological survey 1997-1999. antimicrobial susceptibility data of haemophilus influenzae, haemophilus parainfluenzae and moraxella catarrhalis in italy. | the italian epidemiological survey began a surveillance study with the aim of monitoring the antimicrobial resistance of respiratory pathogens. from 1997 to 1999, 2028 strains of haemophilus influenzae and 523 strains of haemophilus parainfluenzae were collected from 59 clinical microbiology laboratories distributed throughout italy. in 1998, the study was extended to include moraxella catarrhalis and a total of 360 isolates were collected. there was a significant increase in the beta-lactamase ... | 2002 | 12385682 |
| activities of hmr 3787 and ru 64399 compared with those of four other agents against haemophilus influenzae and haemophilus parainfluenzae. | activities of hmr 3787, a new 2-fluoroketolide, and its (des)-fluor derivative, ru 64399, were tested against 111 haemophilus influenzae and 26 h. parainfluenzae strains and compared with those of telithromycin, erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin. hmr 3787 and ru 64399 mics were comparable with those of azithromycin but were less affected by incubation in co(2). time-kill studies of 12 strains showed that hmr 3787, ru 64399, and telithromycin were bactericidal against all strains aft ... | 2003 | 12499225 |

| microbial population diversity in the urethras of healthy males and males suffering from nonchlamydial, nongonococcal urethritis. | nonchlamydial, nongonococcal urethritis (ncngu) is suggested to be a sexually transmitted disease in men. ncngu patients were compared to control subjects with regard to the presence of potentially infectious bacteria in the first void urine. patients' pre- and post-antibiotic-treatment urine samples and two samples obtained 2 weeks apart from healthy volunteers, who did not receive antibiotic therapy, were analyzed with broad-spectrum pcr tests aiming at eubacterial small subunit rrna genes. re ... | 2003 | 12734237 |
| hacek endocarditis in infants and children: two cases and a literature review. | we report 2 cases of haemophilus parainfluenzae endocarditis and review 34 cases of hacek endocarditis from the literature. hacek organisms are the most common cause of gram-negative endocarditis in children. they have a propensity to form friable vegetations (especially h. parainfluenzae) that break off and cause symptomatic emboli. hacek endocarditis (from a review of the 36 published cases) may involve previously normal hearts (33%), may be complicated by embolization (31%) and may require ve ... | 2003 | 12799515 |

| an evaluation of extended incubation time with blind subculture of blood cultures in patients with suspected endocarditis. | in a small proportion of patients, bacterial endocarditis is due to organisms that grow slowly and may not be recovered in conventional blood cultures incubated for five days. this has led to recommendations for prolonged incubation and routine subculture of negative cultures. | 2006 | 18418498 |
| not the usual cardiac rhythm device infection: a fastidious pathogen with several teaching points. | because cardiac device infections may include fastidious pathogens, extended incubation of blood cultures is suggested. a patient with an infection of a right ventricular lead implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) system is described. the device was implanted 6 months earlier. the pathogen was identified as haemophilus parainfluenzae, which was cultured within 72 hours and was presumably from a respiratory tract infection. extended incubation was not necessary to culture this fastidious p ... | 2008 | 18438798 |
