in-vitro comparison of erythromycin, lincomycin, and clindamycin.the in-vitro antibacterial activities of erythromycin, lincomycin, and clindamycin, a new derivative of lincomycin, were compared. clindamycin was always more active than lincomycin, and was either as active as erythromycin or more so against betahaemolytic streptococci, streptococcus viridans, str. pneumoniae, and erythromycin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus. it was also fully active against most erythromycin-resistant strains of staph. aureus. on the other hand, it was somewhat less active tha ...19704988120
relationship between the location of autolysin, cell wall synthesis, and the development of resistance to cellular autolysis in streptococcus faecalis after inhibition of protein synthesis.ten minutes after inhibition of protein synthesis with chloramphenicol (cap) the ability of cells of streptococcus faecalis (atcc 9790) to autolyze decreased to less than 20% of the rate for exponential-phase cells. after threonine exhaustion, the time for a 50% drop in the rate of cellular autolysis was about 20 min. these rapid increases in resistance to cellular autolysis could not be accounted for by: (i) the relatively slow and small overall decrease in susceptibility of isolated cell walls ...19704988243
site of initiation of cellular autolysis in streptococcus faecalis as seen by electron microscopy.low concentrations of glutaraldehyde (0.1% or higher) blocked cellular and wall autolysis. the site of autolytic activity was studied by allowing cell autolysis to proceed for very short periods (0 to 15 min) before addition of glutaraldehyde. electron microscopy of ultrathin sections showed that the primary site of autolytic activity was the leading edge of the nascent cross wall. the base of the cross wall seemed more resistant than the tip. evidence supporting the involvement of autolysin act ...19704988247

carbon dioxide fixation by cells of streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens.fixation of nah(14)co(3) by a heavy cell suspension of streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens was studied. several nutrients, pyridoxal, riboflavine, adenine, uracil, and o(2) stimulated (14)co(2) incorporation into cells only under conditions that were adequate for synthesis of cell macromolecules. biotin increased co(2) incorporation in the absence of extensive synthesis of macromolecules, whereas o(2) inhibited incorporation under these conditions. when (14)co(2) fixation was occurring duri ...19704990760
induction of enterococcal l-forms by the action of lysozyme.suspensions of enterococci were treated with lysozyme in the presence of osmotic stabilizers. the resulting osmotically fragile bodies prepared from streptococcus faecium strain f24 and s. faecalis strain e1 gave rise to l-forms under optimal osmotic and nutritional conditions for treatment and subsequent growth. the most critical component of the growth medium, to obtain maximum yields, was the nature and concentration of the added salt. the two most effective salts were sodium chloride and amm ...19704990848

new water disinfectant: an insoluble quaternary ammonium resin-triiodide combination that releases bactericide on demand.strongly basic anion-exchange resins form stable, water-insoluble combinations with triiodide ions. the combinations have remarkable antibacterial properties: 3.0 x 10(5)escherichia coli cells per ml were killed when passed through a 3.8-g column of commercially available resin treated with triiodide (volume 4 ml after treatment). in an attempt to deplete the resin-triiodide complex, 1.14 x 10(9)e. coli cells in 15 liters were passed through the column with no significant loss of effectiveness. ...19704991917
effect of storage of mueller-hinton agar plates on zone sizes for antimicrobial testing.the length of time mueller-hinton agar plates can be stored at 4 c without affecting the size of zones of inhibition in susceptibility testing by the bauer-kirby method was studied. it was found that these plates can be stored for 3 weeks at 4 c without an appreciable affect on zone sizes. storage of plates in sealed plastic bags did not alter the results significantly. the findings indicate that commercially prepared mueller-hinton agar plates, which may be several days old when received at the ...19704991956
bacteriophage active against the lactic acid beverage-producing bacterium lactobacillus casei.a virulent bacteriophage which causes a decrease in acid production during fermentation of a lactic acid beverage named yakult with lactobacillus casei was isolated from the abnormal fermentation tank and named pl-1. l. casei s strain was the exclusive host cell among 18 lactic acid bacteria tested. the plaque was round with an average diameter of about 0.5 mm. it exhibited serological cross-reaction with previously isolated j1 phage. under an electron microscope, the phage had a spermatozoon sh ...19704991958

extrusion of sodium and hydrogen ions as the primary process in potassium ion accumulation by streptococcus faecalis.glycolyzing cells of streptococcus faecalis accumulate k(+) with concurrent extrusion of equivalent amounts of h(+) and na(+). an attempt was made to clarify the retionship between the movements of na(+) and k(+). sodium was displaced from cells glycolyzing in the presence of ammonia, diethylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, and other nitrogenous cations; by contrast, k(+) was completely retained. accumulation of k(+) by heterologous exchange for na(+) was not inhibited by antibiotics whic ...19704983644
model for cell wall growth of streptococcus faecalis.in exponentially growing and dividing cells of streptococcus faecalis, it is proposed that the leading edge of the annularly closing cross wall is the point of extension for both cross wall and peripheral wall. peripheral wall extension is thought to be produced by the separation or splitting of the cross wall at its junction with peripheral wall. this results in the pushing of the equatorial wall bands, found on s. faecalis walls, to subsequatorial positions. these bands therefore mark the sepa ...19704984078

membrane mg-(ca)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of escherichia coli: characterization in the membrane-bound and solubilized states.the membrane-associated mg(2+)-activated and ca(2+)-activated adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (ec 3.6.1.3; atpase) activities of escherichia coli were further characterized. the degree of inhibition of membrane-bound mg(2+)-(ca(2+))-atpase by a series of anions (i.e., sodium salts of nitrate, iodide, chloride, and acetate) was found to correlate with the relative chaotropic, or solubilizing, effectiveness of these anions. the enzyme was solubilized from washed membrane ghosts by treatment with 0.04% ...197016559094
enhancement of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activity in leptospirae by addition of rabbit serum.glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (gpt) in leptospirae was shown to have an optimal temperature of 30 c and ph 8.0. it was activated by cofactor pyridoxal phosphate, similar to gpt from other sources. however, gpt in all leptospirae, such as leptospira canicola, l. icterohaemorrhagiae, l. autumnalis, and l. biflexa, evidently had less activity even when pyridoxal phosphate was present, in comparison with the cultivable spirochete reiter treponeme and streptococcus faecalis. the low level of activity ...197016557719
pyelonephritis xi. effect of growth phase of streptococcus faecalis on serum susceptibility and virulence.rapidly growing streptococcus faecalis was found to be markedly susceptible to the bactericidal activity of normal rat and rabbit sera, whereas stationary-phase organisms were resistant. in contrast, human serum killed neither phase organism. further, human serum was found to interfere with killing by rabbit serum. the serosusceptible, rapidly growing organisms were less virulent than the seroresistant, stationary-phase organisms. this was tested by production of pyelonephritis in the rat after ...197016557772
responses of the peyer's patches in germ-free mice to antigenic stimulation.lymph nodes, spleens, and peyer's patches of germ-free mice are relatively inactive. the tissues are small and contain rare, small, indistinct, germinal zones. when exposed to antigenic stimuli (salmonella paratyphi a and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus), the tissues become larger and germinal zones appear coincident with antibodies in the blood. the peyer's patches were activated if antigen was absorbed from the intestinal lumen into the circulation but not if the antigen was administered pa ...197016557807
lysis of grouped and ungrouped streptococci by lysozyme.thirty strains of streptococci were tested for lysis with lysozyme, and 29 of these could be lysed by the following method: (i) suspension of the cells to a klett reading of 200 units (no. 42 filter) in 0.01 m tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer, ph 8.2, after washing twice with the buffer; (ii) addition of lysozyme to a final concentration of 250 mug/ml with incubation for 60 min at 37 c; (iii) addition of sodium lauryl sulfate (sls) to a final concentration of 0.2% and incubation up to an a ...197016557878
urinary tract pathogens-sensitivity to trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole.abstract the sensitivity to sulphamethizole, sulphamethoxazole (sm), trimethoprim (tmp) and the combination sm/tmp of freshly isolated urinary tract pathogens from hospital patients was studied. out of 798 strains tested primarily, 47% were found to be fully sensitive to sulphamethizole (tablet method), and 81% fully sensitive to the sm/tmp combination (disk method). out of 423 strains with reduced sensitivity to sulphamethizole, 65% were fully sensitive to sm/tmp. out of 391 strains tested seco ...197025607580
