| evaluation of the rapid-ana system for identification of anaerobic bacteria of veterinary origin. | this study evaluated the ability of the rapid-ana system (innovative diagnostic systems, inc., atlanta, ga.) to accurately identify a spectrum of freshly isolated veterinary anaerobes. a total of 183 isolates were tested and included 7 actinomyces spp., 53 bacteroides spp., 32 clostridium spp., 2 eubacterium spp., 65 fusobacterium spp., 1 peptococcus spp., 22 peptostreptococcus spp., and 1 propionibacterium spp. all isolates were initially identified by conventional biochemical testing and gas-l ... | 1985 | 3905854 |
| imipenem/cilastatin in the treatment of obstetric and gynecologic infections: a review of worldwide experience. | worldwide experience with imipenem/cilastatin in the treatment of 72 patients with a variety of obstetric and gynecologic infections is reviewed. clinical cure or improvement occurred in 97% of 72 assessable patients. the most common etiologic pathogens were escherichia coli, group b streptococci, neisseria gonorrhoeae, staphylococcus epidermidis, enterococci, bacteroides bivius, bacteroides species, bacteroides fragilis, and peptostreptococcus. of the recovered pathogens, 99.5% were susceptible ... | 1985 | 3901216 |
| comparative clinical evaluation of imipenem/cilastatin vs. cefotaxime in treatment of severe bacterial infections. | adult patients with severe bacterial infections caused by organisms susceptible to imipenem and cefotaxime were given either imipenem/cilastatin sodium (mk0787/mk0791) or cefotaxime as a part of a multiclinic randomized study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of imipenem/cilastatin. clinical diagnoses included bacteremia, urinary tract infection, osteomyelitis, mediastinitis, lower respiratory tract infection, and soft tissue infection. efficacy was evaluated for 10 patient ... | 1985 | 3901208 |

| moxalactam versus clindamycin plus tobramycin in the treatment of obstetric and gynecologic infections. | the clinical efficacy of moxalactam versus clindamycin/tobramycin was evaluated in a comparative, randomized, prospective study. sixty patients were treated: 30 with moxalactam and 30 with clindamycin/tobramycin. there were 15 cases of tuboovarian abscess, 36 cases of severe pelvic inflammatory disease with peritonitis, eight cases of endomyometritis, and one wound abscess. aerobic and anaerobic cultures from the sites of infection yielded 441 microorganisms from 53 patients; an average of 8.3 b ... | 1985 | 3895947 |
| comparison of the pras ii, an-ident, and rapid-ana systems for identification of anaerobic bacteria. | two rapid systems for the identification of anaerobes were compared to a conventional growth system aided by a computer. the rapid systems (an-ident and rapid-ana) are non-growth-dependent micromethods that identify anaerobes in 4 h by the action of various constitutive enzymes on chromogenic substrates. the organisms tested were 98 anaerobes, most of which were clinical isolates. the an-ident system identified 76 of these to species level and 86 to genus level; the rapid-ana system correctly id ... | 1985 | 3894412 |
| peritonsillar abscess: bacteriological evaluation. | the pus from a series of 41 peritonsillar abscesses was examined bacteriologically. in the majority of the abscesses a mixed bacterial flora was found. the specimens yielded 0-7 different bacterial species per abscess (mean 3.0). one species alone was isolated only in five cases (12.5%). both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria were isolated from the specimens of 25 patients (61%), only anaerobes from two specimens (4.9%), and only facultative bacteria from 12 specimens (29%). beta haemolytic strepto ... | 1985 | 3891156 |
| a microaerophilic coccus in pyogenic infections of ruminants. | pyogenic infections of cattle, sheep and goats were examined for the presence of a gram positive bacterium that has been designated "microaerophilic coccus" by other workers. the bacterium was found to be involved in a range of disease processes, including foot and soft tissue abscesses, mastitis, pericarditis and pyometra in cattle, joint and foot abscesses in sheep and foot abscesses in goats. the characteristic feature of the bacterium was its satellitic growth around colonies of other organi ... | 1985 | 3888166 |
| anaerobic infections of burns. | from august 1980 to june 1982, 102 burn wound specimens taken from 34 patients were studied for anaerobic cultures. fifteen instances (14.7 per cent) from 8 patients were positive and altogether 12 species were found. the predominant anaerobes were bacteroides melaninogenicus, peptococcus, bacteroides fragilis, and other strains of bacteroides and peptostreptococcus. they were mostly discovered in electric burn wounds and burn wounds affecting the perianal and oral areas. wounds with anaerobic i ... | 1985 | 3886089 |
| purification and characterization of hyaluronidase from oral peptostreptococcus species. | hyaluronidase was purified to apparent homogeneity from the spent medium of peptostreptococcus sp. strain 84h14s. the enzyme was purified 310-fold by ethanol precipitation, gel chromatography, and cation-exchange chromatography with a recovery of 42% of the original activity in the culture medium. the molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 160,000 by gel filtration with sephacryl s-300. like bacterial mucopolysaccharidases of other sources, the enzyme carried out an eliminat ... | 1985 | 3881352 |
| antibiotic susceptibilities of periodontal bacteria. in vitro susceptibilities to eight antimicrobial agents. | in vitro susceptibilities of 369 to 966 bacterial isolates from periodontal lesions to eight antibiotics were determined by agar dilution technique as a means of determining which antimicrobial agents were inhibitory for bacteria frequently associated with destructive periodontal diseases. although most bacteria were relatively susceptible to the penicillins, greater activity was generally noted with amoxicillin than with either penicillin or ampicillin with the exception of selenomonas sputigen ... | 1985 | 3866054 |

| predominant obligate anaerobes in human carious dentin. | with the adoption of an anaerobic glove box system, we isolated and identified the predominant micro-organisms in lesions of carious dentin from four permanent third molars. the overwhelming majority of the micro-organisms isolated from both shallow and deep layers of carious dentin were obligate anaerobes, suggesting that conditions in the dentin were strictly anaerobic. the predominant obligate anaerobes were gram-positive rods which were identified as members of the following genera: propioni ... | 1985 | 3861648 |
| survival analysis of periodontal sites before and after periodontal therapy. | periodontal diseases appear to progress with bursts of destructive activity at individual sites. one effect of treatment might be to diminish the frequency of such bursts. survival analysis was employed to seek such effects on the periodontal sites of 16 individuals with prior evidence of destructive periodontal disease. the subjects were monitored at bi-monthly intervals and actively breaking down sites were detected using attachment level measurements and the tolerance method of analysis. when ... | 1985 | 3860518 |
