semiquantitative catalase test as an aid in identification of oxidative and nonsaccharolytic gram-negative bacteria.	a simple and rapid semiquantitative slide catalase test useful for the identification of oxidative and nonsaccharolytic gram-negative bacteria, i.e., "nonfermenters," is described. using the interpretative criterion of time of appearance of oxygen bubbles in 3% hydrogen peroxide, three categories of nonfermenters were established. the rapid catalase producers included achromobacter xylosoxidans and achromobacter species; acinetobacter anitratus and acinetobacter lwoffii; bordetella bronchiseptic ...	1979	393719
community-acquired bacteremic achromobacter xylosoxidans type iiia pneumonia in a patient with idiopathic igm deficiency.	a man was hospitalized with bacteremic achromobacter xylosoxidans type iiia pneumonia. the authors are aware of no previously reported similar infections caused by this bacterium. a clinical cure was achieved with a combination of carbenicillin and kanamycin therapy. microtiter susceptibility testing revealed that carbenicillin was the antibiotic to which a. xylosoxidans iiia was most sensitive (minimal inhibitory concentration, 1.6 microgram/ml) and that synergy between carbenicillin and kanamy ...	1978	360830
