| recurrent aeromonas sepsis in a patient with leukemia. | a case of recurrent sepsis due to aeromonas hydrophila in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia is reported. the patient's first infection leading to bacteremia followed contamination of a mosquito bite by stagnant water. after recovery from the first bacteremia, the patient again became septic with a second strain of aeromonas hydrophila, which again responded to antimicrobial therapy. it is hypothesized that contamination of the local water supply may have led to the establishment of a gas ... | 1975 | 1060378 |
| acute arthritis caused by aeromonas hydrophola: clinical and therapeutic aspects. | two cases of aeromonas hydrophila arthritis are reported and a third case present in the literature is reviewed. all three cases occurred in patients with myelogenous leukemia; the knee joint was involved in 2 patients and the metacarpal-phalangeal joint in the third. in the 2 patients presented here, synovial fluid antibiotic levels were measured and were adequate; but a hydrophila was repeatedly cultured from the knee joints, a fact suggesting that other factors, such as normal functioning leu ... | 1976 | 1062992 |
| interaction of pseudomonas and enterobacteriaceae plasmids in aeromonas salmonicida. | we observed that aeromonas salmonicida aro200 will maintain either or both the pseudomonas r-factor, pmg1, and enterobacteriaceae r-factors. this bacterial strain, therefore, provides a unique background wherein the host ranges of pseudomonas and enterobacteriaceae plasmods overlap. co-maintenance of these plasmids resulted in behavior of plasmid aggregates that allowed transfer of r-dterminants beyond the host range of the parent plasmid. we observed that the aro200 genetic background facilitat ... | 1976 | 824271 |

| effect of tetramethyl lead on freshwater green algae. | the toxicity of tetramethyl lead (me4pb) towards freshwater algae was studied by bubbling biologically generated me4pb from one flask containing 5 mg of pb 1-1 as me3pboac into the culture medium in another flask where a test alga scenedesmus quadricauda was grown. as me4pb is not soluble in water and is volatile, the exposure of an alga to this lead compound was only momentary. it was estimated that less than 0.5 mg of pb(me4pb) had passed through the culture medium. the primary productivity an ... | 1977 | 869587 |
| [swarming phenomenon of an aeromonas spec (author's transl)]. | a genuine swarming phenomenon, such as has previously been known to occur in proteus, bacillus and clostridium species only, was observed in an aeromonas species. fig. 1 shows the terraced swarming zones of the aeromonas species on nutrient agar. the swarming rate, expressed as the growth of the swarming zone per time unit, was measured to be 70-120 mum/min on blood agar at 30 degrees c. the swarming could be inhibited by incubation at 37 degrees c (table 2), by low saline concentrations (table ... | 1975 | 1101579 |

| pathogenicity of nonpigmented cultures of chromobacterium violaceum. | nonpigmented cultures of chromobacterium violaceum have been found to be similar to pigmented cultures in their virulence for mice and the pathology of their infections. clinicians and microbiologists should be prepared to consider nonpigmented c. violaceum in their differential diagnoses of infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. the laboratorian who is not aware of this possibility is likely to erroneously identify nonpigmented strains of c. violaceum as members of closely associated gene ... | 1977 | 874071 |

| aeromonas hydrophila in acute diarrheal disease: detection of enterotoxin and biotyping of strains. | eleven isolates of aeromonas species from human stool cultures were found to produce enterotoxin activity as determined by assay of culture filtrates in rabbit intestinal loops and rabbit skin and on adrenal y1 cells. hemolysin(s) and a cytotoxic protein were found to interfere in all three assay systems but could be inactivated upon heating at 56 degrees c or by specific antihemolysin. biotyping of each isolate was performed with a conventional test system and with api 50e and apizym kit system ... | 1977 | 893660 |
| tryptophan biosynthetic pathway in the enterobacteriaceae: some physical properties of the enzymes. | several physical properties of the first four enzymatic activities of the tryptophan pathway were examined using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. five different patterns were noted. differences in the anthranilate synthetase (as) and phosphoribosylanthranilate transferase (prt) defined these patterns. in all the organisms studied phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase and indoleglycerol phosphate synthetase co-eluted from both diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and g-200 and thus probably ... | 1975 | 1116988 |
| facultative anaerobic bacteria in the digestive tract of chum salmon (oncorhynchus keta) maintained in fresh water under defined culture conditions. | the bacterial flora in the digestive tract of chum salmon growing in fresh water under defined and controlled culture conditions was examined both qualitatively and quantitatively. the predominant species present in the digestive tract were identified as aeromonas, with aeromonas hydrophila being the most common isolate. these aeromonads were not isolated from the diet. other bacterial species commonly isolated included bacillus, enterobacter, nonpigmented pseudomonads, micrococcus, and acinetob ... | 1975 | 1147605 |
| isolation of aeromonas sp. atcc 29063, a phenol-producing organism, from fresh haddock. | attempts to isolate phenol-producing organisms from stale haddock fillets failed. several such isolates, however, were readily obtained from fresh haddock and were designated aeromonas sp. phenol was produced from l-tyrosine by these isolates. | 1975 | 1147610 |
| enterotoxicity of aeromonas hydrophila. | live cells and cell-free culture supernates of 50 strains of aeromonas hydrophila isolated from diarrhoeic and healthy human faeces, drinking water, sewage, the river ganges and faeces from domestic animals caused accumulation of fluid in ligated ileal loops of adult rabbits. the amount of fluid produced was comparable to that of a toxigenic strain of vibrio cholerae. three of the strains gave positive reactions only after two passages in ileal loops of rabbits. inocula of about 10(3) viable cel ... | 1977 | 894697 |
| [the relation of aerogenic to anaerogenic aeromonads of the "hydrophila-punctata-group" in river water depending on the load of waste (author's transl)]. | the analysis of the relation of the aerogenic and anaerogenic aeromonas-species of the "hydrophila-punctata-group" in moving waters of a varying load of waste demonstrates that in the sewage water the anaerogenic subspecies a.hydrophila subsp. anaerogenes and a.punctata subsp. caviae predominate over the aerogenic species a.hydrophila and a.punctata with an average of 78%. polysaprobic rivers and brooks show a similar relation. to the contrary, the aerogenic aeromonads-mainly a.hydrophila-domina ... | 1975 | 1154921 |

| [antigenic structure of non-agglutinating vibrios and bacteria of the genus aeromonas]. | the authors carried out a comparative study of the antigenic structure of nonagglutinating vibrios and the respresentatives of aeromonas genus. a number of common antigens (some of which were of protein origin) were revealed in the so-called enterotoxins of nonaggultinating vibrios and aeromonas and also in the cytoplasm and ribosomes of these strains. "enterotoxin" of aeromona s strain contained the factor of vascular permeability. the serum to "enterotoxin" of the aeromonas strain neutralized ... | 1976 | 961271 |
| fever and antipyresis in the lizard dipsosaurus dorsalis. | lizards (dipsosaurus dorsalis) were placed in a desertlike environment in which the ambient temperature (ta) at night (1800-0600 h) was 12 degrees c and the day (0600-1800 h) ta was between 30 and 55 degrees c depending on the location within the chamber. when dead aeromonas hydrophila (4 x 10(9) organisms) was injected into nine lizards, an elevation in body temperature (tb) of 2.7 degrees c was observed during the same day. on the day after bacterial injection the lizards' body temperatures av ... | 1976 | 961860 |
