[necrobacillosis].necrobacillosis is an infection caused by the anaerobic gram-negative rod fusobacterium necrophorum. the infection is most common in previously healthy young adults and is characterised by sore throat followed by rigors, septicaemia and the formation of metastatic abscesses, often in the lungs. the infection has a certain mortality, which is reduced when early and sufficient treatment is administered. the treatment is a prolonged course of penicillin and/or metronidazole. two case histories and ...19921509576
factors affecting the leukotoxin activity of fusobacterium necrophorum.the effect of cultural conditions on the production of leukotoxin by biotypes a and b of f. necrophorum was investigated. biotypes a and b were grown in prereduced, anaerobically sterilized, brain-heart infusion (bhi) broth. the average leukotoxin titer of culture supernatant was 18 times higher from biotype a strains than from biotype b strains. leukotoxin activity peaked during the late-log and early-stationary phases of growth, then declined precipitously in both biotypes. f. necrophorum biot ...19921514235
endocarditis with acute mitral regurgitation caused by fusobacterium necrophorum.infective endocarditis is uncommon in young children, especially in the absence of structural heart disease. we report the case of a 2-year-old boy who presented with acute rupture of the mitral valve chordae 6 weeks after an episode of fusobacterium necrophorum septicemia. his heart had been structurally normal before. mitral valve replacement was successfully performed. this is the first recorded case of endocarditis in a child caused by necrobacillosis.19921518743
necrobacillosis with pancytopenia.two young children whose presentation with necrobacillosis caused considerable diagnostic difficulty resulting in referral to an oncology unit are described. in both cases their severe suppurative multisystem illness was complicated by pancytopenia. one had bone marrow infarcts and severe endocarditis in addition to pulmonary involvement and the other had osteitis which resulted in a deformed humerus.19921519964
superoxide dismutase and catalase in an experimental model of multiple organ failure.multiple organ failure (mof) can be induced by sterile intraperitoneal injection of zymosan in the rat. this results in a typical triphasic illness with maximal clinical signs at days 2 and 12. in this model, superoxide production and lipid peroxidation closely correlate with the triphasic clinical illness. in the present experiment we studied the effect of albumin conjugated superoxide dismutase (sod) and catalase (cat) on lipid peroxidation and organ damage in the acute phase (days 1 and 2). l ...19921538604

pathogenicity of fusobacterium necrophorum biovar b.previous studies showed that the high minimum infective dose (more than 10(6) organisms) of biovar a strains of fusobacterium necrophorum for mice by subcutaneous inoculation could be greatly reduced, often to less than 10 organisms, by suspending the fusobacteria in sublethal doses of broth cultures of certain other bacterial species, such as staphylococcus aureus. the present study showed that no such enhancement of infectivity occurred with two biovar b strains. this observation, together wit ...19921585082
further observations on the weak immunogenicity of fusobacterium necrophorum.five virulent strains of fusobacterium necrophorum resembled a single strain examined earlier by possessing little or no immunogenicity: severe subcutaneous infections cured with metronidazole failed to increase the resistance of mice to subcutaneous challenge 22 days after the cessation of treatment.19921585083
correlation of serum concentration of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein with lymphocyte blastogenesis and development of experimentally induced or naturally acquired hepatic abscesses in cattle.changes in serum alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1ag) concentration in cattle with hepatic abscesses were observed, and function of alpha 1ag was evaluated, particularly its influence on cellular immune response. test cattle (n = 4) were inoculated with fusobacterium necrophorum, control cattle (n = 2) were inoculated with inactivated bacteria, and naturally affected cattle (n = 11) were found in a slaughterhouse. determination of alpha 1ag was made by use of a single radial immunodiffusion met ...19921586031
necrobacillosis--an unusual cause of cervical abscess.necrobacillosis is a rare infection which may be fatal if inadequately treated. we present a case demonstrating the classical clinical picture upon which correct diagnosis depends. the need for a high index of suspicion is highlighted and appropriate management is discussed.19921613358

hepatic ultrasonography and blood changes in cattle with experimentally induced hepatic abscesses.hepatic abscesses were induced experimentally in 5 steers by inoculating fusobacterium necrophorum via ultrasonography-guided, percutaneous catheterization of the portal vein. hepatic ultrasonography was performed to determine the onset and progression of abscessation. blood samples were collected before and after inoculation for performing leukocyte counts and hepatic function tests. ultrasonographic evidence of liver abscesses was observed as early as 3 days after inoculation. abscesses appear ...19911679304
hrf20, a membrane inhibitor of complement attack, does not protect cells from the cytotoxic reaction by lymphokine activated killer cells.hrf20, a 20 kda homologous restriction factor, is a membrane glycoprotein anchored via galactosyl phosphatidyl inositol. its function is to protect cells from attack by homologous complement. adsorption of purified hrf20 to raji cells which have little, if any, of this factor increased their resistance to cytolysis by homologous complement. however, the same cells treated with hrf20 remained sensitive to cytotoxic attack by il-2 activated lymphocytes (lymphokine activated killer cells; lak cells ...20061698362
intrageneric relationships of members of the genus fusobacterium as determined by reverse transcriptase sequencing of small-subunit rrna.the phylogenetic interrelationships of 14 members of the genus fusobacterium were investigated by performing a comparative analysis of the 16s rrna sequences of these organisms. the sequence data revealed considerable intrageneric heterogeneity. the four species fusobacterium nucleatum (including f. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum, f. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum, "f. nucleatum subsp. fusiforme," and "f. nucleatum subsp. animalis"), fusobacterium alocis, fusobacterium periodonticum, and fusobacterium ...19911715737
real time ultrasonographic evaluation of the infant hip.although the technique for ultrasonographic evaluation of the infant hip is difficult to learn, it is a valuable diagnostic tool. in many institutions, hip ultrasonography expands upon and complements the clinical examination and minimizes radiographs.19991741175
causal attributions in first-degree relatives of depressed and agoraphobic inpatients.causal attributions in 77 first-degree relatives of major depressed, agoraphobic, major depressed and agoraphobic (comorbid), and dysthymic inpatients were studied. the hypothesis that the relatives of comorbid and dysthymic patients should exhibit more "depressogenic" causal attributions for bad events than the relatives of major depressed and agoraphobic patients was partly supported. relatives of dysthymic patients attributed bad events to more internal causes and assigned more importance to ...20041743018
