| microbial aerosols and actinomycetes in etiological considerations of mushroom workers' lungs. | spent steamed compost, phase ii compost, and dust emanating from spent compost during dumping of stationary-bed mushroom houses were examined bacteriologically. the total count for spent compost was 16 x 10(8) microorganisms per g. the total count for dust was 333 microorganisms per liter of air. actinomycetes belonging to the genus streptomyces often constituted 90% or more of isolates from dust, whereas mold spores constituted approximately 5%. dust weight averaged 3.4 mg/liter of air and cont ... | 1981 | 7195685 |
| the microbiology of spent mushroom compost and its dust. | microorganisms in spent steamed mushroom compost and its dust were enumerated, and identified. some phase ii (indoor composting) compost samples were also examined. steaming of spent compost resulted in a 70-76% reduction in microbial numbers. total counts made with compost fusion agar were approximately two logs greater than those for nutrient agar. the most common bacterial isolate was bacillus licheniformis. the most common actinomycete isolates were streptomyces diastaticus and thermoactinom ... | 1981 | 7197578 |
| the prevalence of immediate positive skin tests in nepalese children. | two hundred and ninety-three normal schoolchildren between 5 and 15 years old living in the hills of eastern nepal were tested by the skin prick method for sensitivity to six allergens: dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, aspergillus fumigatus. cladosporium herbarum, penicillium notatum, mixed pollens and mixed threshings. these children were also questioned and examined for symptoms and signs relating to allergic disease. of the children, 20% were skin-prick positive to at least one of the allergen ... | 1981 | 7249341 |
| allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in corticosteroid-dependent asthmatics. | forty-two corticosteroid-dependent asthmatics were studied to determine whether their underlying disease might be allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (abpa). the clinical and laboratory characteristics studied included age, sex, atopic status, mean corticosteroid doses, skin tests to aspergillus fumigatus (af), precipitins to af, total serum ige, and chest roentgenograms. twelve patients had four or more of the seven primary criteria used and were considered as the abpa suspect group. furthe ... | 1981 | 7252001 |
| 125i-clq-binding and specific antibodies as indicators of pulmonary disease activity in cystic fibrosis. | we studied the incidence and levels of circulating immune complexes by the 125i-clq-binding assay in patients with cystic fibrosis in relation to clinical respiratory status and specific igg and ige antibodies to pseudomonas aeruginosa. staphylococcus aureus, aspergillus fumigatus, and candida albicans. overall prevalence of cic was 43%, but 86% of serially studied patients had evidence of cic at some time. patients with acute respiratory exacerbations and deteriorating pulmonary function had a ... | 1981 | 7252678 |
| porcine abortions associated with fungi, actinomycetes, and rhodococcus sp. | history, lesions, and results of microbiologic examinations are given for four porcine abortions associated with fungi and one each associated with actinomadura madurae, an aerobic actinomycete, and rhodococcus sp. the fungi were gliomastix sp., petriellidium boydii, aspergillus fumigatus, and exophiala jeanselmei. parvovirus, isolated from one fetus, was the only other infectious agent identified. the presence of fungi, actinomadura madurae, and rhodococcus sp. in fetal and placental lesions in ... | 1981 | 7281459 |
| the effect of 5-fluorocytosine on the synthesis of 80s ribosomes by pathogenic fungi. | we studied the influence of 5-fluorocytosine(5fc) on the monomeric 80s ribosomes isolated by gradient ultracentrifugation from candida albicans, cryptococcus neoformans, aspergillus fumigatus and wangiella dermatitidis. labelling of the cultures with 32po4 and [3h]-leucine showed marked inhibition of both ribosomal rna and ribosomal protein synthesized during the contact of the fungi with the drug. the degree of inhibition was very similar for the synthesis of both ribosomal constituents, (mostl ... | 1981 | 7292207 |
| synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial property of o-carborane derivatives. | various o-carboranes and nido-type dicarbollide anions have been synthesized and tested for antimicrobial activity. nearly all of the dicarbollide monoanions investigated were active in vitro against fungi such as candida albicans, aspergillus fumigatus, and tricophyton asteroides, as well as against gram-positive bacteria. from a consideration of the structure-activity relationships, it seems most reasonable to conclude that the introduction of lipophilic alkyl or o-carboranyl groups to the hyd ... | 1981 | 7310826 |
| the effect of bacterial and fungal phospholipids on the activity of macrophages. | the effect of some bacterial and fungal phospholipids on the functions of macrophage in mice was studied. it has been found that in animals injected with phospholipids from staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus faecalis, bacillus subtilis and aspergillus fumigatus the population of macrophages with increased phagocytic and microbicidal activity appeared. the phospholipids from cryptococcus neoformans and penicillium notatum did not affect the activity of macrophages. administration of the candida ... | 1981 | 7347586 |
| experimental aspergillosis in rabbits. | controls, as well as cortisone-treated rabbits, were challenged with aspergillus fumigatus spores intratracheally. animals were sacrificed 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after inoculation and their organs cultured and studied histologically. lesions were produced in both groups, although the cortisone-treated group showed greater pathology and the lesions persisted for a longer period of time than the control groups. histologically, the pulmonary lesions showed granulomatous pulmonary aspergillosis and su ... | 1981 | 7348209 |
