| susceptibility of oral bacteria to phenoxyethanol and phenoxyethanol/chlorhexidine combinations. | a total of 57 bacterial strains (26 different species) which may be isolated from subgingival plaque were tested for their in vitro susceptibility to phenoxycthanol, a commonly-used antiseptic and preservative. ninety-five percent of the strains, including those associated with chronic inflammatory periodontal disease, were susceptible to concentrations of phenoxyethanol used topically (2% w/v). phenoxyethanol at a concentration of 1% (w/v) was also found that to have a rapid bactericidal effect ... | 1990 | 2202809 |
| optimum therapy for acute pelvic inflammatory disease. | neisseria gonorrhoeae is responsible for about one-third to one-half of cases of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (pid), although there is considerable geographical variation. chlamydia trachomatis is also an important aetiological agent, and is currently isolated 4 times more commonly from the cervix than the gonococcus. however, it is now clear that acute pid is polymicrobial in aetiology. even when n. gonorrhoeae and/or c. trachomatis are isolated from the endocervix, anaerobes such as bacte ... | 1990 | 2190794 |
| parietal lobe abscess after routine periodontal recall therapy. report of a case. | this paper reports on a case of a 70-year-old physician diagnosed with a parietal lobe abscess following such treatment. after stereotactic biopsy and drainage and a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotic treatment, the patient recovered with minimal neurologic deficits. although brain abscesses are not commonly encountered in practice, clinicians must be aware of the potential virulence of the anaerobic components of the periodontal pocket and the possibility of resulting systemic infection, w ... | 1990 | 2182824 |

| [significance of the bacterial flora in the etiology of apical periodontitis. qualitative, quantitative and topographical aspects]. | in the international literature it is shown the central role of root canal infection in the etiology of periapical lesions. as a matter of fact it has been proved (13) that sterile necrotic pulp tissue is completely unable to cause inflammatory reactions at the periapex. infection of endodontic origin extends to the supporting tissues of the tooth only in the case of their acute inflammation (e.g. acute apical periodontitis, acute alveolar abscess, phoenix abscess). on the other hand in chronic ... | 1990 | 2135040 |
| [morpho-functional characteristics of bacterial species of major importance in endodontic infections]. | most of the bacteria involved in the endodontic infection can be considered as "highly specific", for they appear to be almost irrelevant in the large field of the other human disease from infection. namely the most important anaerobia responsible for endodontic infection are: bacteroides, fusobacterium, peptostreptococcus, and veillonella. the group of bacteroides is composed by several species with different metabolic and genetic characteristics. they are gram-, non-motile, non-spore-forming r ... | 1990 | 2133812 |
| [a microbiologic study on anaerobic bacteremia after dental extraction]. | it has been known for many years that tooth extraction can cause bacterial dissemination into blood stream, that is, bacteremia. besides endocarditis--causing bacteria, alpha-hemolytic streptococci, anaerobes are involved in the post- extraction bacteremia. they are of clinical importance because they can cause abscesses in the various parenchymatous organs such as the liver, lung, and brain through anachoresis. the purpose of this study is to establish the types of species of anaerobes associat ... | 1990 | 2133345 |
