the effect of nalidixic acid on microaerophilic and anaerobic bacteria. special study of clostridia.study of the sensitivity of 141 strains of anaerobic and microaerophilic bacteria to nalidixic acid shows that few bacteria are inhibited by low concentrations (veillonella, eikenella, most of the clostridia). nalidixic acid appears to be bactericidal with respect to clostridium perfringens, and its point of attack in the dna is probably different from that of metronidazole.1979232341
effect of sample transport systems on survival of bacteria in ground beef.the effects of two transport systems and cryoprotective agents on the survival of bacteria in ground beef samples were evaluated. survival of clostridium perfringens in ground beef samples after simulated transport (72 h) was higher (about 99%) in dry ice than in trans temp shipping units (-3 degrees c). there were no significant differences between the two transport systems in survival of coliforms, escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, or aerobic bacteria. mixing ground beef samples at a ra ...1979232392

the use of amniotic membrane in acute massive full-thickness loss of the abdominal wall from clostridial myonecrosis.a patient who developed clostridial infection of the abdominal wall following laparotomy for small bowel perforation is described. immediate debridement resulted in the loss of the entire abdominal wall. dressing of the exposed viscera during the period of stabilization and prior to reconstruction was achieved using amniotic membranes.1979232646
the prevention of experimentally induced necrotic enteritis in chickens by avoparcin.four groups of about seventy 2-week-old broiler chickens were challenged with a clostridium perfringens type a isolate. inclusion of avoparcin at 20 ppm in feed prevented necrotic enteritis in one group, but 10 ppm was only marginally effective. bacitracin at 110 ppm also prevented the disease. necrotic enteritis was successfully reproduced in untreated control birds.1979232655
neuraminidase-dependent hamagglutination of human erythrocytes by human strains of actinomyces viscosus and actinomyces naeslundii.human a, b, and o erythrocytes (rbc) were agglutinated by many human strains of actinomyces viscosus and a. naeslundii. at 37 degrees c, these bacterium-mediated hemagglutination reactions required the action of bacterial neuraminidase upon the rbc; however, at 4 degrees c, the requirement for neuraminidase was not as striking. bacterial cell suspensions which caused hemagglutination at 37 degrees c contained both soluble extracellular and cell-associated neuraminidase activities as shown by enz ...1979232691
[studies of necrotizing enteritis of suckling piglets (clostridium perfringens type c enterotoxemia) in industrialized sow breeding units. 4. epizootiology].necrotising enteritis had been the cause of death of 4.9 per cent in 5,177 nursed piglets, which was established by pathological examination. the number of piglets, in that context, which had come from industrialised sow breeding units was equivalent to 92 per cent. the nursed piglet held the third position, next to smaller ruminants (19.4 per cent) and fowl (6.0 per cent), with regard to the occurrence of clostridium perfringens enterotoxemia or necrotising enteritis in 112,218 animals which we ...1979232840

intestinal strangulation in germfree and monocontaminated dogs.earlier studies in the germfree rat demonstrated that the common intestinal bacteria vary greatly in their ability to cause death after intestinal strangulation. some of these experiments were repeated in adult, germfree and monocontaminated beagles. neither short closed-loop hemorrhagic nor long closed-loop ischemic strangulation killed the germfree dog. either procedure rapidly killed the dog with a conventional bacterial flora or a dog monocontaminated with clostridium perfringens. the dogs m ...1979219816
ornidazole and anaerobic bacteria: in vitro sensitivity and effects on wound infections after appendectomy.the sensitivities of 68 clinical isolates of bacteroides fragilis, 18 of clostridium perfringens, and 11 of other clostridium species were tested against ornidazole alone and in combination with ampicillin and gentamicin. a concentration of 3.1 microgram of ornidazole/ml inhibited 98% of the strains of b. fragilis, with greater sensitivity when ampicillin and gentamicin were also present. a concentration of 6.2 microgram of ornidazole/ml inhibited 16 of 18 strains of c. perfringens and all 11 st ...1979220342
