group ve infection: case report of group ve-2 septicemia and literature review.	the second case of the centers for disease control group ve-2 septicemia from our hospital is reported herein. literature review shows that group ve bacteria can cause life-threatening disease in the debilitated hospital patient.	1986	3720267
autoscan-4 system for identification of gram-negative bacilli.	a production model of the autoscan-4 system (american microscan, inc., mahwah, n.j.) was tested with not more than 11 strains each of 73 groups or species of gram-negative bacilli from various centers for disease control culture collections. the strains included typical and atypical strains of enteric fermenters, nonenteric fermenters, and nonfermenters. the autoscan-4 system identified 95.3% of all 405 cultures accurately: 95.4% of 307 members of the family enterobacteriaceae, 96.6% of 29 nonen ...	1985	3905849
unusual bacterium, group ve-2, causing peritonitis in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.	we report a case of peritonitis in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient with an unusual bacterium known as group ve-2. this is the first reported case of peritonitis attributable to this organism and only the second well-documented case of infection with this organism in the english literature.	1985	3998117
[the identification of nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria. experiences with 676 apyocyaninogenic strains (author's transl)].	during a period of 16 months 1757 strains of nonfermentative gram-negative rods have been isolated from clinical material. of the, 1205 (69%) were p. aeruginosa, 124 (10%) of which failed to produce pyocyanin. the apyocyaninogenic strains as well as the remaining 552 isolates were differentiated by steps according to a diagnostic scheme developed by us. for identification of species two or three steps were needed. by this procedure, 530 of the 552 strains could be assigned to nineteen species wi ...	1981	7223132
group ve-2 (chromobacterium typhiflavum) bacteremia.	group ve-2 (chromobacterium typhiflavum) bacteremia occurred in a severely traumatized, post-neurosurgical patient. a discussion of the clinical occurrence of the organism, bacteriological characteristics, and antibiotic sensitivities is presented.	1977	914996
characteristics of yellow-pigmented nonfermentative bacilli (groups ve-1 and ve-2) encountered in clinical bacteriology.	the morphological and physiological characteristics of 20 strains of motile, gram-negative, yellow-pigmented oxidative bacilli (groups ve-1 and ve-2) isolated in clinical bacteriology are described. electron micrographs demonstrate the polar multitrichous flagella of group ve-1 and polar monotrichous flagella of group ve-2. data obtained from guanine plus cytosine ratio studies of 56.8% for ve-1 and 68.9% for ve-2 distinguish the two groups of bacteria.	1975	1176609
