| invasiveness of aeromonas spp. in relation to biotype, virulence factors, and clinical features. | of 69 fecal isolates of aeromonas spp., 18 had the ability to invade hep-2 cells. invasiveness correlated with biotype; of the 18 invasive strains, 16 were a. sobria and 2 were a. hydrophila. no invasive strains were found among the a. caviae. of the 18 invasive strains, 13 were enterotoxigenic. of the enterotoxigenic and invasive strains, 12 were a. sobria, but enterotoxicity was also more common among noninvasive strains of a. sobria. fucose-resistant hemagglutination was also more common in a ... | 1985 | 4019741 |
| the antagonism of tetracycline and ferric iron in vivo. | to test the hypothesis that the in-vivo antibiotic action of tetracycline might be affected by ferric iron and the enhancement of infection by ferric iron by tetracycline, the actions of intraperitoneal antibiotic and local ferric ammonium citrate, given separately and together, were measured in the dorsal skin of guinea-pigs bearing lesions due to staphylococci, streptococci, a proteus sp., an erysipelothrix sp., clostridium perfringens, pseudomonas aeruginosa, aeromonas hydrophila and klebsiel ... | 1985 | 4020849 |
| bacteremia caused by aeromonas species in hospitalized cancer patients. | bacteremia caused by aeromonas species occurred in 24 hospitalized patients in a cancer institute during a 13-year period. all but one of these patients had a malignancy (88% had leukemia), and most were receiving chemotherapy for cancer. there was a striking numerical predominance of male patients (82%). unlike some previously described patients with infections due to this organism, none of these 24 patients had recently been exposed to fresh or salt water or to fish. the source of the infectin ... | 1985 | 4023526 |
| a transition-state-analog inhibitor influences zinc-binding by aeromonas aminopeptidase. | the transition-state-analog inhibitor, 1-butaneboronic acid, markedly enhances the uptake of one g-atom of zn2+ ions from a metal ion buffer system by zn-depleted aeromonas aminopeptidase. in contrast, a substrate-analog inhibitor, n-valeramide, does not perturb the equilibrium between zn2+ ions and the enzyme in a metal ion buffer system. these results establish a role for metal ions in the binding of 1-butaneboronic acid to aeromonas amino-peptidase and strongly imply that a bound zn2+ ion int ... | 1985 | 4026862 |
| salmonellae and pollution indicator bacteria in municipal and food processing effluents and the cornwallis river. | a study was conducted to determine the incidence of fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci, aeromonas hydrophilia, and salmonella spp. in the waste discharges of seven sewage treatment plants, four fruit and vegetable canneries, a meat packing plant, a poultry processing plant, and a potato processing plant located along the cornwallis river in nova scotia, canada. surface water samples were also collected from 13 locations in the river to assess the impact of these waste discharges on the receivin ... | 1985 | 4027779 |
| bacteria in bivalve shellfish with special reference to the oyster. | the bacterial flora of the pacific oyster crassostrea gigas, the sea mussel perna viridis and the arkshell clam scapharca cornea differed considerably from that of seawater in both numbers and generic composition. the numbers of heterotrophic bacteria in the bivalve shellfish, including the anaerobes and spore-forming bacteria, were greater than that in the surrounding water. pseudomonas spp. were the dominant organisms, comprising over one third of the 321 strains characterized after isolation ... | 1985 | 4030530 |
