incidence and pathological features of spontaneous tumors in athymic nude mice.	systematic observation of 1141 nude mice (swiss background [corrected] strain) that received human tumor transplants revealed 24 spontaneous tumors, 18 of lymphoreticular origin and 6 pulmonary adenomas. spontaneous tumors were seen at an average age of 9.1 months, and 22 of the tumors were seen only in that fraction of our group (324 mice) surviving for 5 months or more (22 of 324 x 100 = 6.8%). transplantation of these tumors to other nude mice was successful in three of five cases. mice trans ...	1979	427772

bactericidal effect of cysteine exposed to atmospheric oxygen.	peptostreptococcus anaerobius vpi 4330-1 was exposed to atmospheric oxygen in a dilution bland (0.2% gelatin, salts, resazurin) solution. the organisms were rapidly killed when the solution contained cysteine. the organisms were effectively protected by catalase and horseradish peroxidase as well as by the metal ion-chelating agents 8-hydroxyquinoline and 2,2'-bipyridine. superoxide dismutase increased the rate of killing of the organisms, whereas singlet oxygen quenchers and scavengers of hydro ...	1979	453819
isolation and characterisation of bacteria from abscesses in the subcutis of cats.	thirty-six closed abcesses in the subcutis of cats were examined. of 168 bacterial strains isolated, 121(72%) were anaerobes and 47 (28%) were facultative anaerobes. twenty-six abscesses contained mixtures of facultative anaerobes and anaerobes, six contained anaerobes only and four contained facultative anaerobes only. bacteriodes was the genus most commonly isolated (28.6% of all isolates) followed by fusobacterium (19.0%) and pasteurella (multocida) (13.1%). peptostreptococcus anaerobius was ...	1979	458840
description of strains of peptostreptococcus anaerobius isolated from subcutaneous abscesses in cats.	strains of peptostreptococcus, streptococcus and of a gram-positive coccus, which was initially isolated as an anaerobe but grew subsequently as a facultative organism, were isolated from subcutaneous abscesses in cats. the cat strains of peptostreptococcus gave metabolic fermentation products in combinations described for p. anaerobius. the streptococcus strains conformed to the group s. intermedius. the facultative organism described had the metabolic products of p. anaerobius but the distinct ...	1979	479840
obligate anaerobes in clinical veterinary practice.	clinical specimens obtained from domestic animals were examined to determine the relative prevalence of obligate anaerobic bacteria and the species represented. of 3,167 samples cultured anaerobically as well as aerobically, 2,234 were bacteriologically positive. of these positive samples, 583 (26%) contained species of obligate anaerobic bacteria in a total of 641 isolates. most positive samples contained anaerobes admixed with aerobic species, although 6% of such samples yielded pure cultures ...	1979	511987

differentiation of peptococcus and peptostreptococcus by gas-liquid chromatography of cellular fatty acids and metabolic products.	gas-liquid chromatographic (glc) profiles of cellular fatty acids and metabolic products were useful in identifying strains of peptococcus saccharolyticus, peptococcus asaccharolyticus, peptostreptococcus anaerobius, peptostreptococcus micros, and streptococcus intermedius. the glc results supported the recent taxonomic decision to transfer aerotolerant peptostreptococcus species to the genus streptococcus. because inconsistencies in the results prevented our differentiating peptococcus prevotii ...	1979	528680
[influence of phenobarbital on hyperbilirubinemia caused by nicotinic acid and rifamycin--sv in healthy subjects].	ten healthy subjects have been given before and after treatment with phenobarbital the following intravenous charges: a) nicotinic acid; b) rifamicyn-sv; c) simultaneous administration of the two drugs. along with confirmatory evidence of the wellknown increase in bilirubinaemia (prevalently unconjugated), we have observed phenobarbital to attempts partially yet significantly that effect. on the base of direct experience on rat liver, we hypothise phenobarbital to increase the pool of the y prot ...	1979	548051
bovine superoxide dismutase and copper ions potentiate the bactericidal effect of autoxidizing cysteine.	when cysteine is oxidized by oxygen, hydrogen peroxide is formed, and hydrogen peroxide is very toxic to peptostreptococcus anaerobius vpi 4330-1. native and inactivated superoxide dismutase increased the rate of oxidation of cysteine and thereby potentiated the toxic effect of cysteine. a similar increase in the rate of oxidation of cysteine and in the toxicity of cysteine was obtained with cu2+.	1979	573589
