| anaerobic and aerobic bacteriology of acute conjunctivitis. | aerobic and anaerobic cultures and clinical data were obtained from 131 patients presenting with acute conjunctivitis. similar cultures were obtained from 60 noninflamed individuals. anaerobes were isolated from 66 patients, 51 times in mixed culture with aerobes and 15 times (11.5%) as the only isolates. aerobes only were recovered in 54 patients. the organisms found to be statistically significantly more commonly recovered from eyes with conjunctivitis were staphylococcus aureus, hemophilus in ... | 1979 | 313179 |
| on the nature of nontypable haemophilus influenzae. | 193 haemophilus cultures, including 71 nontypable h. influenzae isolates, were examined with respect to phage hp1 sensitivity, lysogeny for this and for other phages and for excretion of bacteriocins. fifty of the 71 nontypable cultures were sensitive to phage hp1 but only three produced plaques. the other 47 isolates were thus probably not non-encapsulated derivatives of h. influenzae serotypes a, b, d, and e, which have discrete and characteristic phage hp1 restriction and modification systems ... | 1978 | 313183 |
| bacteria in chronic maxillary sinusitis. | sixty-one chronically inflamed maxillary sinuses produced 131 bacterial strains from mucosal pieces that were taken during a caldwell-luc operation and cultured aerobically and anaerobically. sinus secretions showed only 62 and nasal secretions 106 bacterial strains. fourteen mucosal strains, including 11 haemophilus influenzae, grew heavily. none of 24 mucosal anaerobes showed heavy growth. of 52 antral mucosae with culturable bacteria, 37 disclosed mixed and 15 pure growth. the bacteriological ... | 1979 | 313206 |

| septic arthritis in childhood. | in the first 4 years (1974 to 1978) of operation of the children's hospital of eastern ontario, in ottawa, 50 children were treated for septic arthritis. the neonatal group (birth to 6 months) of three patients had the most severe involvement and the worst prognosis. the early childhood group (6 months to 4 years) of 15 patients was characterized by sepsis due to hemophilus influenzae. the 32 older children (4 to 16 years), more susceptible to staphylococcal infections, commonly presented with a ... | 1979 | 313236 |
| plasmid transfer in haemophilus influenzae. | twenty-nine strains of haemophilus influenzae highly resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, or tetracycline were examined for the presence of plasmids. agarose gel electrophoresis of ethanol-precipitated cell extracts revealed large plasmids in 11 strains, of which 7 were conjugative. plasmid transfer by conjugation between isogenic strains was quite efficient, but transfer between different serotypes was nearly always much more inefficient. type i or ii restriction enzymes do not appear to b ... | 1979 | 313393 |
| biochemical characteristics of 130 recent isolates from haemophilus influenzae meningitis. | a total of 130 haemophilus strains, comprising virtually all isolates from danish and norwegian cases of haemophilus meningitis occurring in the period from october 1975 through september 1976, were examined by biochemical and serological means. all isolates were identified as h. influenzae and, except for one noncapsulated strain, possessed a capsule of serotype b. the vast majority of strains (93%) belonged to biotype i, which, in contrast to biotypes ii and iii, is rarely encountered as a com ... | 1979 | 313403 |

| infectious parotitis in sjögren's syndrome: a case report and review of the literature. | infectious parotitis as a complication of the sicca syndrome has rarely been reported. a patient with bilateral parotitis due to h. influenza in reported and the literature regarding this rare complication of the sicca syndrome is reviewed. the host defense mechanisms which ordinarily protect normal individuals or patients with sjögren's syndrome against purulent parotitis are discussed. | 1979 | 313447 |
| acute epiglottitis: 26 years' experience at the montreal children's hospital. | two hundred and four cases of acute epiglottitis treated at the montreal children's hospital between 1951 and 1978 are reviewed. the comparison of tracheostomy vs. nasotracheal intubation is discussed. nasotracheal intubation has been found to be the treatment of choice as long as the necessary services are available in the hospital. | 1979 | 313456 |
| analysis of photoenzymatic repair of uv lesions in dna by single light flashes. xii. evidence for enhanced photolysis enzyme-substrate complexes by a 2-photon reaction. | yeast photoreactivating enzyme (pre), preilluminated with wavelengths ranging from the near-uv to the red spectral region, forms with 254 nm-irradiated transforming dna of haemophilus influenzae enzyme-substrate complexes that are more efficiently photorepaired than complexes formed from non-preilluminated pre. the action spectrum for this "preillumination effect", previously shown to have a maximum in the near-uv region, has another maximum near 577 nm. in complexes formed from non-preilluminat ... | 1979 | 313509 |
| the vestibulo-ocular reflex in newborn rats. | to study the development of vestibular functioning, the vestibulo-ocular reflex was tested in rats of increasing age. high frequency electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerve elicited characteristic conjugate eye movements in newborn rats well before the eyes were open (about day 15 after birth) and before the semi-circular canals had reached full adult size (about day 22 after birth). the threshold currents decreased during growth. | 1979 | 313655 |

| acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase activity in human neoplastic lymphoid cells. usefulness as a t-cell marker. | previous studies have shown that a distinctive pattern of acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (anae) activity (focal reaction product) characterizes normal human peripheral blood and tissue t lymphocytes but is absent from thymocytes and certain mitogen-stimulated t-cell blasts. in the present study mononuclear cell suspensions prepared from the peripheral blood and tissue specimens of 35 patients with lymphoid malignancies were simultaneously analyzed for surface immunoglobulin, sheep erythroc ... | 1979 | 313712 |
| growth curves, microscopic morphology, and subcultures of beta-lactamase-positive and -negative haemophilus influenzae under the influence of ampicillin and cefamandole. | in contrast to the results obtained with ampicillin, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of cefamandole against haemophilus influenzae were within the same range (0.5 to 1.5 mug/ml) whether or not the strains were beta-lactamase producers. the minimum bactericidal concentrations were somewhat higher for beta-lactamase-positive strains (6.4 mug/ml) than for negative strains (1.2 mug/ml). in a culture with high initial microbial density, monitored by recording optical densities, the addition of ... | 1979 | 313751 |
