| an evaluation of nonsuppurative joint disease in slaughter pigs. | fifty-two joints from pigs with nonsuppurative joint disease from a local abattoir were examined grossly, histologically, and microbiologically in order to establish macroscopic differences between degenerative arthropathy and arthritis due to an infectious organism. the joints were grouped grossly according to the type and severity of lesions of the synovial membrane and cartilage, and microscopically according to the severity of synovial membrane lesions. osteochondrosis and erysipelothrix rhu ... | 1987 | 17422755 |
| [the pathogenesis of erysipelas arthritis]. | experimental chronic erysipelas polyarthritis in rat, induced by living erysipelas bacteria, histologically can be divided into four different phases. in the phase of population bacteria are distributed diffusely within the whole joint but accumulate in the transitional zones and entheses by multiplication within the ground substance of cartilage. in the phase of acute destruction a severe inflammation of all joint tissues predominates. bacterial antigen is eliminated by a pannus tissue destroyi ... | 1988 | 3368899 |
| valvular endocarditis associated with experimental erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection in the opossum (didelphis virginiana). | intravenous inoculation of a wild type isolate of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in opossums resulted in valvular endocarditis in all infected animals. opossums were inoculated once a week for 3 weeks. lesions became visible with cardiac ultrasound by week four post-inoculation. opossums remained clinically normal throughout the experiment, and preinfection body weight was maintained. other lesions of chronic erysipelas including skin necrosis and arthritis were not found in infected opossums. | 1988 | 3374091 |
| detection of coagulase activity in erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. | coagulase activity was detected in 99% of 225 strains of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. these strains included isolates from a variety of animal and environmental sources. activity could be detected by the tube or slide technique, with the tube reactions being easier to interpret. coagulation of rabbit and/or bovine plasma was observed, with most strains reacting in both. the activity appeared to be a common characteristic of the species and may be useful in differentiating e. rhusiopathiae from ... | 1988 | 3384899 |
| conjugative acquisition and expression of antibiotic resistance determinants in listeria spp. | elements encoding various antibiotic resistances were transferred to listeria species by conjugation with streptococcus donor strains. transfer of a conjugative resistance plasmid, pip501, and of a conjugative transposon, tn916, occurred at a frequency of about 10(-6). a previously described conjugative cryptic plasmid, pryc16, could mobilize a non-conjugative resistance plasmid, pbd10, between listeria strains. in all cases the resistance determinants were stably-inherited by listeria and could ... | 1988 | 2834312 |

| isolation of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae from a 55 year old man and a positive tracing of the infection to chicken-raising premise. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from the swollen finger of a 55 year old man. the swelling was due to a peck by an infected chicken. tracing the infection to the chicken-raising premises has proven that the bacterium was present in some of the chicken and manure samples. | 1988 | 3405100 |
| characterization of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae isolated from an opossum (didelphis virginiana) with septicemia. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from a wild-caught opossum (didelphis virginiana). the opossum was quarantined in isolation and removed from contact with other animals. after a 2-mo period it was found dead in its cage, and presented for postmortem examination. pure cultures of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (slu isolate) were recovered from heart blood, liver, spleen and lungs. to compare pathogenicity, an experimental infection was attempted in cf1 mice with a single dose of 1.5 x 10(7 ... | 1988 | 3411715 |
| kill kinetics of the cephalosporin antibiotics cephalexin and cefuroxime against bacteria of veterinary importance. | kill kinetic studies for two cephalosporin antibiotics, cephalexin and cefuroxime were carried out against veterinary strains of escherichia coli, pasteurella multocida, streptococcus suis, erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and a laboratory culture of staphylococcus aureus. in more than 90 per cent of cases a kill of more than 99 per cent was achieved within four hours of antibiotic treatment at concentrations of 2 or 4 micrograms/ml. although cefuroxime was effective at lower concentrations than cep ... | 1988 | 3057718 |
| mechanism of protection induced in mice against erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection by treatment with porcine antiserum to the culture filtrate of an attenuated strain. | the mechanism of protection induced in mice against challenge with a virulent strain of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae by porcine antiserum to the culture filtrate (cf) of an attenuated strain was investigated. death and bacterial growth in the spleens of mice challenged with the virulent strain were completely prevented by treatment with the antiserum. the protective effect of the serum was markedly decreased in mice in which polymorphonuclear leucocytes (pmn) were depleted by cyclophosphamide (c ... | 1988 | 3176311 |
| erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis: microbiologic, epidemiologic, and clinical features of an occupational disease. | ninety percent of the 49 reported cases of serious erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection have been episodes of presumed or proved endocarditis. e. rhusiopathiae endocarditis correlates highly with occupation (farming, animal exposure), affects more males than females, exhibits a peculiar aortic valve tropism, displays a characteristic erysipeloid cutaneous lesion (in 40% of cases), and is associated with significant mortality (overall rate, 38%). comparison with other unusual gram-positive rods ... | 1988 | 3287562 |
| [erysipelas as a disease factor]. | the infection with erysipelas rhusiopathiae demonstrates that it is possible to characterize the significance of predisposing factors. the virulence of the agent is most important among the exogenous factors; it determines decisively the course of the disease: 1. paracute course as septicemia; 2. chronic course as polyarthritis; 3. subclinical course nearly without any symptoms. the immune status and the genotype of the host are predominant out of endogenous factors. the importance of immunity i ... | 1989 | 2684151 |
| erysipelothrix endocarditis with previous cutaneous lesion: report of a case and review of the literature. | this report describes the first documented case of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis in latin america. the patient was a 51-years-old male, moderate alcoholic, with a previous history of aortic failure. he was used to fishing and cooking as a hobby and had his left hand wounded by a fish-bone. the disease began with erysipeloid form and developed to septicemia and endocarditis. he was treated with antibiotics and surgery for aortic valve replacement. there are only 46 cases of e. rhusiop ... | 1989 | 2697071 |
| naturally occurring erysipelas in rats. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from the main limb joints of two sprague dawley rats affected by spontaneous lesions of chronic fibrinopurulent polyarthritis, endocarditis and mycocarditis. | 1989 | 2761229 |
| [detection of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae specific antibodies in the serum of experimentally-infected swine by elisa and immunoblotting]. | in an attempt to characterize the immuno response of the animal organism to experimental infection, elisa and immunoblotting were used to test the antibody levels of erysipelas hyperimmune sera (his) which had been induced by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. also, 5 pigs were accidentally chosen to check on individual curves of antibody formation, following periodical inoculation up to his collection. all his verified and confirmed by the mouse protective test responded by high titres. yet, the res ... | 1989 | 2619491 |
| cellular fatty acids and fatty aldehydes of listeria and erysipelothrix. | the cellular fatty acid composition determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, was found not to differ among listeria monocytogenes, l. innocua and l. ivanovii. slight quantitative differences found in the fatty acid pattern of l. welshimeri were significantly pronounced in l. denitrificans. l. murrayi and l. grayi displayed characteristic closely related patterns. considerable amounts of fatty aldehydes and their dimethyl acetals were observed in hydrolysates and methanolysates of l. s ... | 1989 | 2631734 |
| erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae: an occupational pathogen. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a nonsporulating, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium which was identified more than 100 years ago as the etiologic agent of swine erysipelas. since then, it has been found to cause infection in several dozen species of mammals and other animals. humans become infected through exposure to infected or contaminated animals or animal products. by far the most common type of human infection is a localized, self-limited cutaneous lesion, erysipeloid. diffuse cutaneous ... | 1989 | 2680056 |
| comparison of inoculation regimes for the experimental production of swine erysipelas arthritis. ii. serological findings in a gel diffusion precipitin test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | the serological response of pigs to erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae inoculation was monitored by a gel diffusion precipitin test (gdpt) using a crude, serotype-specific, autoclaved antigen and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) using a heat-extracted, alcohol precipitated and molecular seived antigen previously shown to react with serum from pigs infected with serotypes 1 or 2. all pigs receiving 3 or 5 weekly intravenous inoculations of either a highly virulent (vrs 229) or a lowly virul ... | 1989 | 2505742 |
| serological and pathogenic characterization of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae isolates from tonsils of slaughter pigs in indonesia. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from tonsils of 245 (35.7%) of 687 apparently healthy slaughter pigs in indonesia during the period of june 1987 to february 1988. a total of 150 of the 245 e. rhusiopathiae isolated could be serotyped within the 22 recognized serotypes. serotype 2 was most prevalent with 23.7%, followed by serotypes 11, 12, 1a, 5 and 6 representing 7.3, 5.3, 4.9, 4.9 and 4.1% of the isolates, respectively. the nine other serotypes (serotypes 1b, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 13, 19 a ... | 1989 | 2609500 |

| comparison of inoculation regimes for the experimental production of swine erysipelas arthritis. i. clinical, pathological and bacteriological findings. | the arthritic form of swine erysipelas was induced in pigs by multiple intravenous inoculation of 2 strains of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. the strains differed significantly in their arthritogenicity but not in the number of cases of lameness induced. the use of 3 intravenous inoculations instead of 5 did not significantly affect the outcome. in a second trial, the more arthritogenic strain was injected in ten-fold dilutions from 5 x 10(9) to 5 x 10(4) organisms. pigs receiving the lower doses ... | 1989 | 2775064 |
| comparative studies on susceptibility of the mouse (mus musculus) and the vole (microtus arvalis) to listeria monocytogenes and erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. | the susceptibility of mice and voles to intraperitoneal and subcutan injection of virulent strains has been tested comparatively on 261 mice and 120 voles. using various germ-doses, 50 per cent lethality has been established. listeria monocytogenes serovar 1/2a killed mice in doses of 120,000 and 1.5 x 10(6) germs when injected intraperitoneally and subcutaneously and voles in doses of 1800 and 12,000 germs, respectively. thus voles proved 100 to 120 times more susceptible than mice. erysipeloth ... | 1989 | 2517160 |
| occurrence of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae on pork and in pig slurry, and the distribution of specific antibodies in abattoir workers. | strains of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae isolated at 19 pig farms serving a certain abattoir, and on pork and in workers of this abattoir were studied. mouse-pathogenic e. rhusiopathiae was found in pig slurry from two farms (11%). the strains belonged to serotypes 7 and 16 (both from the same farm) or were untypable. in pig slurry from the abattoir lairage only serotype 2 strains were found and all were pathogenic to mice. mouse-pathogenic e. rhusiopathiae strains of serotype 2 were also recover ... | 1989 | 2584166 |
| erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae bacteremia in a horse. | erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae serotype 5 was isolated from blood obtained antemortem from a horse with presenting problems of laminitis, uveitis, acute blindness, localized ventral edema and depression. the patient failed to respond to therapy and died 96 hours after the onset of clinical signs. cultures of the lung postmortem yielded erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae serotype 5, beta-hemolytic streptococcus sp., escherichia coli, proteus sp., and klebsiella sp. | 1989 | 2924578 |
| activation of macrophages in an experimental rat model of arthritis induced by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection. | infection of lewis rats with erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae represents an experimental model system of acute and chronic arthritis. we studied here the acute inflammatory phase with respect to stimulation of macrophages and lymphocytes. intragluteal injection of viable e. rhusiopathiae (10(2) to 10(4) bacteria) rapidly induced generalized inflammation, loss of body weight, hind leg arthritis, and systemic macrophage activation within 2 to 3 days. the same symptoms could also be evoked by injection ... | 1989 | 2789193 |
| enzymatic profiles of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and erysipelothrix tonsillae. | the enzymatic activities of 39 strains of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and 34 of e tonsillae were determined with the api zym system. the profiles of these two species were very similar, differing solely in n-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activity. whereas 90 per cent of strains of e rhusiopathiae exhibited strong activity with n-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, positive reactions were observed for this enzyme in only 24 per cent of strains of e tonsillae. these results support previous dna-dna hybrid ... | 1989 | 2799088 |
| erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis. | a case of erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis involving the aortic and mitral valves in a 70-year-old male farmer is reported. the onset of infection was insidious, with a five-month history of low grade fever, malaise and a 20 kg weight loss. the patient eventually developed severe heart failure requiring surgery and died postoperatively of pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia. in vitro studies showed the isolate to be highly susceptible to penicillin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, and resista ... | 1990 | 2137414 |
| mechanism of plasma clotting by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. | experiments were performed to determine the mechanism by which erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae clots plasma. detection of plasma-clotting activity in four strains of e. rhusiopathiae was carried out by mixing a 24-h broth culture of a tested bacterial strain with rabbit plasma (tube coagulation test). sodium citrate, sodium oxalate, edta, and heparin were used as anticoagulants in preparing the rabbit plasma. e. rhusiopathiae strains clotted solely citrated plasma in 18 to 24 h. a known coagulase-p ... | 1990 | 2229337 |
| resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin: an emerging clinical problem. | vancomycin and teicoplanin are glycopeptides active against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria. for 30 years following the discovery of vancomycin in 1956, vancomycin resistance was not detected among normally susceptible bacteria recovered from human specimens. since 1986, however, bacteria resistant to vancomycin or teicoplanin or both have been described. strains of the genera leuconostoc, lactobacillus, pediococcus, and erysipelothrix seem inherently resistant to glycopeptides. species a ... | 1990 | 2143434 |
