| dissociation of hemolytic and lymphocyte-transforming activities of streptolysin s preparations. | the ability of streptolysin s preparations to induce high percentages of transformation in human peripheral blood lymphocytes was confirmed in a series of apparently healthy donors. transforming activity was not demonstrated in the two media used for streptolysin s production, nor in control preparations in which a strain each of streptococcus viridans, staphylococcus aureus (nonhemolytic), and diplococcus pneumoniae was substituted for the beta hemolytic streptococcal strain used for streptolys ... | 1969 | 4387992 |
| microbiological and pharmacological behavior of 7-chlorolincomycin. | replacement of the 7-(r) hydroxyl group of lincomycin by a 7-chloro-substituent produced a compound with greater in vitro activity than the parent. laboratory studies of this compound showed it to be highly active against all of the following strains of gram-positive organisms examined, including penicillinase- and nonpenicillinase-producing staphylococci, diplococcus pneumoniae, streptococcus viridans and streptococcus pyogenes. the enterococci, as well as all the gram-negative organisms tested ... | 1969 | 4389137 |
| new medium for blood cultures. | a new medium suitable for blood cultures is described. it contains dextrose, cysteine, iron, and magnesium, in a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer, and a mixture of peptones derived from animal tissues, casein, and yeast. in comparison with trypticase soy broth, the growth rate constants of staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus (viridans group), enterococcus, and escherichia coli were higher in this medium, and growth appeared earlier in a significant number of clinical blood cultures. | 1969 | 4886863 |

| chemotherapy of experimental streptococcal endocarditis. ii. synergism between penicillin and streptomycin against penicillin-sensitive streptococci. | bacterial endocarditis was produced by intravenous injection of streptococcus viridans into rabbits with preexisting sterile endocardial vegetations. after 6 h had elapsed, bacteria in the vegetations could not be eradicated by brief treatment with antimicrobials to which the streptococci were sensitive. however, when treatment with penicillin was continued for 4 days, the animals were cured. the 6-h infection therefore offered a model in which treatments could be conveniently compared over a sh ... | 1974 | 4492776 |
| role of the vegetation in experimental streptococcus viridans endocarditis. | this study examines the role of the vegetation in catheter-induced experimental endocarditis in predisposing to bacterial colonization of cardiac valves and in influencing the course of the disease and response to penicillin therapy. platelet-fibrin vegetations developed at areas of valvular trauma and were colonized when streptococcus viridans were injected intravenously. pretreatment with warfarin prevented vegetation formation, but animals still developed endocarditis at the same rate after i ... | 1974 | 4497487 |

| [inhibition of bacterial neuraminidases by different anions (author's transl)]. | it was shown that neuraminidase of vibrio comma is inactivated by ca..-binding anions like citrate, edta, oxalate, phosphate or tartrate. there is, however, no inhibition of the newly described enzymes of erysipelothrix insidiosa and streptococcus viridans. pyruvate and, to a lesser extent, also citrate inactivate all the neuraminidases investigated independently of their activation by ca..ions. | 1975 | 806459 |
| the role of superoxide anion generation in phagocytic bactericidal activity. studies with normal and chronic granulomatous disease leukocytes. | the capacity of human phagocytes to generate superoxide anion (o2-), a free radical of oxygen, and a possible role for this radical or its derivatives in the killing of phagocytized bacteria were explored using leukocytes from normal individuals and patients with chronic granulomatous disease (cgd). superoxide dismutase, which removes o2-, consistently inhibited phagocytosis-associated nitroblue tetrazolium (nbt) reduction indicating the involvement of o2- in this process. similarly, superoxide ... | 1975 | 166094 |
| diffuse glomerulonephritis in rabbits with streptococcus viridans endocarditis. | intravenous administration of live microorganisms to rabitts with cardiac catheters produces an experimental model of infective endocarditis. despite the development of infected valvular vegetations, positive blood cultures, splenomegaly, and focal embolic renallesions, glomerulonephritis has not been found in these animals. in the present study, acute diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, featuring endothelial and mesangial proliferation, capillary occlusion, and leukocytic infiltration was ... | 1975 | 125360 |
| [proceedings: experimental endocarditis. experimental basis and prophylaxis]. | a simple model has been developed for the production of bacterial endocarditis in rabbits. the principle depends on the insertion of a polyethylene catheter into the venous or arterial system so that the tip rests in the heart cavity in which endocarditis is to be established. after catheter placement, intravenous injection of any one of a variety of microorganisms regularly produces infective endocarditis. the characteristics of the infection in rabbits are similar to those observed in infectiv ... | 1975 | 766173 |
| [postoperative bacterial endocarditis after cardiac prosthesis (author's transl)]. | the infection of an endocardial prosthesis, either valvular or septal patch, is a frequent and dangerous post-operative complication. eleven patients having postoperative endocarditis (9 on valve prosthesis and 2 on ventricular septal patch) are the subject of this paper. six of the 7 infected "early" had gram-negative bacteria in the blood cultures, while staphylococus aureus, streptococcus viridans and klebsiella pneumoniae were responsible for 3 of the 4 "late" infections. in 2 patients, one ... | 1975 | 770223 |
| the changing character of infective endocarditis. | the presentation and course of infective endocarditis is changing because there is an increasing number of resistant organisms which are causative agents. at present, resistant organisms are isolated in more than one-half of the cases; streptococcus viridans is found in only 40 percent. the increased use of antimicrobial agents, the frequent use of intravenous heroin and the increased amount of cardiac surgery have been important in increasing the number of resistant organisms and providing conv ... | 1975 | 803764 |
| myocardial cell damage during experimental infective endocarditis. | infective endocarditis was induced in 15 catheterized rabbits by a single intravenous injection of streptococcus viridans and the papillary muscles from the left ventricle were examined for histologic and ultrastructural changes at 3 and 6 days of infection. papillary muscles from 10 normal and 12 catheterized uninfected animals were used for comparison. catheterized animals, infected and uninfected, had cardiac hypertrophy and papillary muscles which showed an increase in myofiber size and some ... | 1975 | 1160352 |
| clinical manifestations of splenic abscess. | two patients with splenic abscess were successfully treated. in one patient, streptococcus viridans, possibly arising in a dental abscess, led to inflammatory left upper quadrant signs. an exploratory laparotomy was performed, and the spleen, being found enlarged, was removed. the other patient showed no peritoneal signs. laparotomy was done for pyrexia of unknown origin, and the removal of a normal-sized spleen was elected on the suspicion of lymphosarcoma. the spleen was abscessed, apparently ... | 1975 | 1172926 |

| mechanism of anaemia in experimental bacterial endocarditis. | rabits with streptococcus viridans aortic valve endocarditis develop anaemia and reticulocytosis which increase with the duration of infection. mean red cell counts decreased from 6.05 +/- 0.29 x 10(6) per mul before infection to 4.10 +/- 0.18 x 10(6) per mul after 11 to 20 days of endocarditis and reticulocytes increased from 1.16 +/- 0.14 x 10(5) per mul to 4.91 +/- 0.83 x 10(5) per mul after more than 20 days of endocarditis. the anaemia could not be explained by intravascular haemolysis. ant ... | 1975 | 1198067 |
| infected left atrial mass within anatomically normal heart. | a case is presented with some features of subacute bacterial endocarditis and of left atrial myxoma. operative removal of a 5x3 cm tumour lying above and attached to an anatomically normal mitral valve reversed a rapidly deteriorating clinical situation. histologically the entire tumour appeared to be old thrombus, and gram-positive cocci in its superficial strata corresponded with streptococcus viridans previously isolated from blood cultures. many features, including an eight-year history of i ... | 1975 | 1221557 |
| streptococci isolated from post-extraction bacteraemias. | one hundred and fifty streptococci were isolated from blood cultures taken following the extraction of teeth. the cultural, biochemical and serological characteristics of the organisms are presented and their antibiotic sensitivities discussed. it is shown that a detailed assessment of these organisms can be made rather than considering them all as streptococcus viridans. | 1975 | 1056797 |
| bacterial endocarditis: a retrospective study. | a retrospective study was done on patients admitted to the university of michigan hospital from 1962 to 1972 with a diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis. the findings in the group studied indicate that streptococcus viridans was the predominant causative organism, males were affected three times as often as females, erythromycin was effective against organisms of oral origin, dental procedures were not definitely established as responsible for the onset of the disease in any of the cases, and rhe ... | 1975 | 1057148 |
| antagonism between chloramphenicol and penicillin in streptococcal endocarditis in rabbits. | antagonism between chloramphenicol (chl) and penicillin (pch) was studied in rabbits with streptococcus viridans endocarditis. pcn alone or preceded 1 hour by chl was injected twice a day starting 6 hours or 3 days after infection. in animals treated 6 hours after infection, vegetations contained mean log colony-forming units (cfu):3.0 per gram in pcn animals and 3.7 in pcn + chl animals (p greater than 0.05) after 24 hours of treatment and 2.4 in pcn animals and 4.3 in pcn + chl animals (p grea ... | 1975 | 1113018 |
| the heterogeneity of streptococcus viridans: therapeutic considerations in infective endocarditis. | a 24-year-old woman with marfan's syndrome and mitral regurgitation had clinical features suggestive of infective endocarditis. the causative organism was streptococcus viridans. initial therapy with penicillin g, in a dose that should have been bactericidal and hence curative according to the results of the initial quantitative antimicrobial studies, became inadequate. the strain of s. viridans displayed considerable variation in both growth properties and antimicrobial sensitivity during the c ... | 1975 | 1125890 |
| physiological classification of oral viridans streptococci. | the human mouth harbors large numbers of a variety of greening streptococci. for many years the classification and nomenclature of these organisms have been confused, but recent studies have clarified the situation considerably. five distinct species can be distinguished among the oral streptococci s mutans, s sanguis, s mitior, s milleri, and s salivarius, and these may be identified using a simple scheme consisting of seven physiological tests. further subdivisions within these species may be ... | 1976 | 1060638 |
| streptococcal pancarditis. | an unusual association of pancarditis due to streptococcus viridans is described. the pathologic findings appear to indicate that the myocardial infection and pericarditis were blood borne. | 1976 | 1244263 |
| alterations in myocardial function during bacterial infective cardiomyopathy. | the status of myocardial function in rabbits subjected to cardiac catheterization and infection with streptococcus viridans was assessed at 3 and 6 days. sham-operated control animals as well as uninfected catheterized animals were used for comparison. although left heart hypertrophy and interstitial edema were evident in both uninfected and infected animals, the infected animals exhibited in addition mononuclear cell infiltration and muscle degeneration as well as lung congestion and accumulati ... | 1976 | 1258770 |
| [clinical experience with amoxicillin in otorhinolaryngology (author's transl)]. | this paper reports the clinical trial of amoxicillin. (1) a daily dose of 750 approximately 1,000 mg of amoxicillin was orally administered for 3 approximately 12 days to 20 patients, 7 of which were with acute suppurative tympanitis, 3 with furuncle of the ear, 2 with furuncle of the nose and 8 with acute amygdalitis. as a result, amoxicillin proved remarkably effective or effective in 17 patients (85.0%). (2) amoxicillin was effective against: staphylococcus aureus in 10 of 11 patients (90.9%) ... | 1976 | 1263345 |
| infective endocarditis: a survey of cases in the south-east region of scotland, 1969-72. | the incidence and characteristics of infective endocarditis were studied in a defined community over a four-year period. seventy-eight cases were found, giving an incidence of 16 cases permillion per year. the commonest presenting features were those of infection; 53% had cardiac failure and 37% evidence of emboli when first seen. twenty-three cases occurred on rheumatic heart valves, 13 on valvular prostheses, and 19 in previously normal hearts. streptococcus viridans was the commonest organism ... | 1976 | 968793 |
| right-sided endocarditis and ventricular septal defect. | right-sided endocarditis occurred in a 40-year-old woman with ventricular septal defect. this association is uncommon in adults. because of the changing and variable clinical patterns of this disease, it is difficult to make a prompt diagnosis. in this case diagnosis was delayed for almost a year. the occurrence of pneumonia due to streptococcus viridans was the most important extracardiac manifestation. | 1976 | 1000444 |
| abscess formation as a complication of parenteral methylphenidate abuse. | case reports of five patients suffering from either skin abscesses or cellulitis following parenteral methylphenidate abuse are presented. four patients had similar lesions consisting of abscesses or cellulitis which demonstrated typical signs and symptoms of an infective process and were treated with local symptomatic therapy, incision and drainage if indicated, and systemic antibiotics. the fifth patient suffered from a circular, necrotic, nonpurulent ulcer on the dorsum of the right foot whic ... | 1976 | 1018375 |
| rapid specific identification of group d streptococci by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. | clinical isolates of group d streptococci have been examined by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (cie) to determine if this method might be of value in the rapid identification of the members of this group. group d organisms identified by classical biochemical and serologic procedures were inoculated into todd hewitt broth and incubated at 37 degrees c. after 4 hours of incubation, free group d streptococcal antigen was detected in broth cultures from 70 of 70 group d enterococcal strains. precipiti ... | 1976 | 822109 |
| alteration in calcium metabolism in cardiac hypertrophy and failure caused by bacterial infection. | left ventricular hypertrophy was seen in catheterized, uninfected rabbits, whereas contractile failure superimposed upon hypertrophy was observed in catheterized animals after injection with streptococcus viridans within six days. the infected animals showed marked changes in the ultrastructure of the left heart in comparison to the uninfected rabbits. the levels of calcium and potassium were decreased, whereas sodium was increased in both infected and uninfected hearts; however, magnesium level ... | 1976 | 145639 |
| abnormalities in heart membranes and myofibrils during bacterial infective cardiomyopathy in the rabbit. | we studied hearts from sham-operated and uninfected catheterized rabbits as well as from rabbits at early and late stages of cardiomyopathy and failure after 3 and 6 days of infection with streptococcus viridans. no ultrastructural abnormalities or biochemical changes in membrane and myofibrillar activities were seen in 3-day uninfected hearts. in 6-day uninfected hearts there were decreased sarcolemmal m2+ atpase, na+-k+ atpase, adenylate cyclase and calcium binding, microsomal calcium binding ... | 1976 | 132311 |
| transient bacteremia in pediatric patients after dental extraction. | the incidence of bacteremia in a group of well children undergoing dental extraction of both normal and abscessed teeth was determined. blood samples were obtained from each child before and immediately after dental instrumentation and then cultured aerobically and anaerobically. eleven of 36 (30%) of the postextraction cultures were positive, and streptococcus viridans grew from all of them. bacteremia was more common after the extraction of diseased teeth, and there was no relationship between ... | 1976 | 131485 |
| resistance to antibiotics of bacteria involved in respiratory infections (author's transl). | the present status of resistance to antibiotics of bacteria involved in respiratory infections is reviewed. schematically it can outlined as follows. streptococcus b-haemolyticus as well as pneumococcus did not change their sensitivity to penicillin, but some strains are now resistant to tetracycline. streptococcus viridans, enterococcus and h. influenzae did not change substantially their sensitivity to antibiotics. staphylococcus aureus is the bacterial species that always poses some problems ... | 1976 | 13744 |
| bacteraemia following oesophageal dilatation and oesophago-gastroscopy. | significant, but asymptomatic, bacteraemia after oesophageal dilatation with hurst's bougies for oesophageal stricture or spasm was detected in six of 11 patients. no bacteraemia was identified in ten volunteers without oesophageal pathology, who underwent passage of the same dilators. after oesophago-gastroscopy significant bacteraemia was identified in one of ten patients examined. the predominant bacterial isolates were streptococci ("streptococcus viridans" and non-haemolytic streptococcus s ... | 1977 | 266890 |
| [selective effect of propolis in the isolation of listeria monocytogenes (author's transl)]. | propolis is a substance produced by honeybees. it is inhibitory to some bacteria species, mainly gram-positive bacteria, but less inhibitory to listeria monocytogenes (l.m) than to the other gram-positive bacteria tested. in order to obtain selective growth of l.m. from contaminated samples, the effect of propolis in plating media and broths on various strains of bacteria was examined. table i shows the effect of increasing concentrations of propolis in tryptose-agar (ta). l.m. tolerated higher ... | 1977 | 411111 |
| ticarcillin: a collaborative in vitro comparison with carbenicillin against over 9,000 clinical bacterial isolates. | the minimal inhibitory concentrations of ticarcillin and carbenicillin were determined for 9,236 clinical bacterial isolates by the broth microdilution method at four participating laboratories. ticarcillin showed significantly increased activity against klebsiella pneumoniae (p less than .001), pseudomonas aeruginosa (p less than .001) and aeromonas hydrophilia (p less than .005) when compared to carbenicillin, but no signifcant differences were observed against other gram-negative organisms. t ... | 1977 | 610415 |
| role of preventive antibiotics in patients undergoing cesarean section. | eighty patients in labor and requiring cesarean section were selected randomly for a double-blind study using prophylactic cephalosporin and placebo. there were 26 treated patients who had no morbidity versus 13 in the control group. the reduction in endometritis was significant (p = less than .05). the most prevalent organism was streptococcus viridans, followed by escherichia coli. bacterioides organisms were recovered 17 time in 11 patients. tabulation of the fever index showed significant di ... | 1977 | 333603 |
| septicemia as a complication of percutaneous liver biopsy. | three cases of septicemic shock after liver biopsy are reported. escherichia coli was cultured in 2 patients and in 1 e. coli was cultured with streptococcus viridans. all 3 patients were afebrile and had normal wbc counts before the procedure. two had cholangitis and the 3rd had primary hepatoma and cirrhosis of the liver. septicemic shock should be recognized as a rare complication of liver biopsy in patients with biliary obstruction. | 1977 | 321291 |
| [bacterial endocarditis. clinical picture, treatment and course in 37 patients (author's transl)]. | between march 1971 and april 1976 37 patients were seen with manifest bacterial endocarditis. the main signs were high temperature and cardiac murmurs whereas other "classical" signs such as splenomegaly, anaemia, leucocytosis, and positive anti-streptolysin titres were much less frequent. in 35 cases bacteriological proof was possible. as causative organism a total of 30 gram-positive organisms (of which 15 were streptococcus viridans and 8 were staphylococcus species) and 10 gram-negative bact ... | 1977 | 404127 |
| [a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis treated with clindamycin-2-phosphate (author's transl)]. | a sixty-three years old female patient with subacute bacterial endocarditis was treated with clindamycin-2-phosphate parenterally, because she had a history of hypersensitive reaction to penicillins. she had received erythromycin, cephaloridine and cephalexin previously, but had no bacteriological response. when clindamycin-2-phosphate was given intramuscularly, the bacteremia disappeared for the first time. however, after the cessation of this treatment streptococcus viridans grew in her blood ... | 1977 | 839639 |
| bacterial endocarditis in england in the 1970's: a review of 70 patients. | the features of 70 cases of bacterial endocarditis are reported. streptococcus viridans was the cause in 45 per cent, staphylococci in 27 per cent, and enterococci in 7 per cent. rheumatic heart disease was the predisposing factor in less than one quarter of patients and in almost half there was no obvious pre-existing cardiac disease. apart from cardiac murmurs and pyrexia, the classical features of infective endocarditis were uncommon, haematuria being observed in less than one-third. most pat ... | 1977 | 594299 |
| treatment of bacteroides endocarditis with carbenicillin. | a heroin addict developed acute bacterial endocarditis with streptococcus viridans and bacteroides melaninogenicus. although blood cultures became negative during penicillin g and clindamycin therapy there was little clinical response. prompt clinical improvement was achieved with intravenous carbenicillin in a dose of 40 g daily. in vitro testing supported the superiority of carbenicillin therapy in this patient. | 1977 | 15455 |
| effect of aspirin on thrombogenesis and on production of experimental aortic valvular streptococcus viridans endocarditis in rabbits. | because thrombus formation at the site of endothelial injury has been thought to be a critical step in the pathogenesis of bacterial endocarditis, the effect of aspirin on experimental valvular thrombosis and bacterial endocarditis in rabbits was evaluated. aortic valvular injury and thrombosis were induced in aspirin-treated and control rabbits with intracardiac catheters. a subsequent inoculation of streptococcus viridans resulted in the development of infective endocarditis. rabbits were sacr ... | 1977 | 843622 |
| late-onset post-pneumonectomy empyema. | nine cases of empyema developing more than three months after pneumonectomy are presented. diagnosis is difficult; with one exception, all the patients had been ill for at least three weeks and some for several months before the cause was discovered. in four, the radiological demonstration of gas in a previously opaque hemithorax led to the diagnosis. one of these had a bronchial fistula, two had oesophageal fistulae, and one had both. the remaining patients had no fistulae and the diagnoses wer ... | 1977 | 867326 |
| [present aspects of bacterial endocarditis in infants and children. observation during the years 1969-1976 (author's transl)]. | 21 infants and children with proven bacterial endocarditis were observed at the unviersity children hospital of düsseldorf from january 1969 to december 1976. there was high incidence of cases in the infant group and again among the 6 to 8 years old children. some important aspects of the disease were characteristic for the infant group (n=5): no congenital cardiac abnormality was present, but a surgical cerebro-atrial connection in two cases of hydrocephalus and a prolonged artifical respiratio ... | 1977 | 919678 |
| method for studying the role of indigenous cervical flora in colonisation by neisseria gonorrhoeae. | a method for quantitating cervical flora has been evaluated statistically and used to study the bacterial flora of the cervix in 14 women sexually exposed to men with gonococcal urethritis. a comparison was made between those women who subsequently became colonised with neisseria gonorrhoeae and those who did not to determine whether either total microbial populations or the different species present could be related to colonisation by n. gonorrhoeae. two control groups of healthy women, one of ... | 1978 | 104769 |
