| differentiation of haemophilus spp. in respiratory isolate cultures by an indole spot test. | indole spot tests using isolated, nonhemolytic colonies of haemophilus species were positive for 90 of 151 (60%) respiratory isolates of haemophilus influenzae, whereas 67 to 72 (93%) isolates of h. influenzae from cerebrospinal fluid and blood specimens were indole positive. only 4 of 117 (3%) haemophilus parainfluenzae isolates were positive for indole spot tests. thus, indole-positive, nonhemolytic haemophilus isolates in respiratory cultures can be presumptively identified as h. influenzae. | 1982 | 7040445 |
| rapid biotyping of haemophilus influenzae and haemophilus parainfluenzae with pathotec strips and spot biochemical tests. | pathotec strips and spot biochemical tests were evaluated for the ability to biotype haemophilus influenzae and haemophilus parainfluenzae. indole, urease, and ornithine decarboxylase reactions were tested. the results of pathotec strips compared favorably with those conventional methods; the percent agreements were as follows: indole, 100; urease, 99.5; and ornithine, 95.5. spot tests were simple and rapid, and the results also compared favorably with those of conventional tests; the percent ag ... | 1982 | 7047563 |

| haemophili in faeces. | by plating faeces on a selective medium, haemophili were isolated from 26% of 612 samples from patients of all ages and 12% of 525 samples from apparently healthy meatworkers. most isolates were haemophilus parainfluenzae. only specimens received for laboratory investigation for pathogens were examined in this study; the faecal carriage of haemophili in healthy persons is not known. | 1981 | 7463464 |
| [detection of beta-lactamase in samples obtained after tonsillectomy in children]. | production of beta-lactamase was detected using a microbiological assay (guts test) in samples of tonsils, and by in haemophilus growing from the same samples of both tonsils obtained from 30 children aged 2 to 13 years (18 aged < 6 years and 12 aged > or = 6 years). two pieces from each tonsil, core and superficial, were studied. the procedure included direct microscopic examination of smears, and culture to identify haemophilus, beta-haemolytic streptococci and streptococcus pneumoniae. guts t ... | 1995 | 7567124 |
| phylogeny of the pasteurellaceae as determined by comparison of 16s ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequences. | previously, virtually complete 16s ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequences were determined for 54 strains of species in the family pasteurellaceae. the sequences for 16 additional strains have been determined, bringing the total number of strains sequenced to 70. the additional strains include: actinobacillus hominis, a. muris, a. salpingitis, pasteurella bettyae, p. mairii, p. testudinis, and bisgaard taxa 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 14 (2 strains). a phylogenetic tree was constructed based upon ... | 1993 | 7690271 |
| [clinical and laboratory studies on sy5555 in pediatric infectious diseases]. | clinical effects of sy5555 dry syrup, a new oral penem antibiotic, were analysed in 20 children with various bacterial infections. ages of the patients varied from 8 months to 14 years. doses of sy5555 were varied from 12.8 mg/kg/day to 30.5 mg/kg/day, and it was administered in 3 divided dosages. clinical efficacy rates were as follows; 6/7 in acute bronchitis, 5/5 in pharyngotonsillitis, 3/3 in acute otitis media and 2/2 in cystitis and 3/3 in impetigo contagiosa. the overall rate was 95.0% (1 ... | 1995 | 7745813 |

| multicenter trial of cefpodoxime proxetil vs. amoxicillin-clavulanate in acute lower respiratory tract infections in childhood. international study group. | acute lower respiratory tract infections in children are a worldwide public health problem, with an estimated 4 million potentially preventable deaths every year. until recently, penicillin and related drugs were the treatment of choice for empiric therapy of paediatric lower respiratory tract infections. however, concerns over the emergence of penicillin-resistant strains of streptococcus pneumoniae and beta-lactamase-producing strains of haemophilus influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis have le ... | 1995 | 7792126 |
| head and neck space infections in infants and children. | a retrospective study was performed in 117 children with head and neck space infections treated at the children's hospital of pittsburgh from january 1986 through june 1992. peritonsillar space infections were the most common (49%), followed by retropharyngeal (22%), submandibular (14%), buccal (11%), parapharyngeal (2%), and canine (2%) space infections. the most common pathogens isolated (n = 78) were the aerobes beta-hemolytic streptococcus (18%) and staphylococcus aureus (18%), the anaerobes ... | 1995 | 7870436 |
| haemophilus parainfluenzae antigen and antibody in renal biopsy samples and serum of patients with iga nephropathy. | iga nephropathy may be associated with colonisation with haemophilus parainfluenzae. in patients with glomerular diseases, we examined renal-biopsy specimens for presence of bacterial antigen by immunofluorescence microscopy with rabbit antiserum against h parainfluenzae, and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay looked for iga antibody against h parainfluenzae in patient sera. the rabbit antiserum recognised by immunoblotting four components of h parainfluenzae outer membranes (omhp) of molecula ... | 1994 | 7905040 |

| chromosomally integrated conjugative plasmids are common in antibiotic-resistant haemophilus influenzae. | twenty-three highly antibiotic-resistant strains of haemophilus influenzae and two of haemophilus parainfluenzae without detectable large plasmids were examined for conjugative transfer of their resistance to h. influenzae strain rd or to other strains. very inefficient transfer was observed for 18 h. influenzae strains and 1 h. parainfluenzae strain. all h. influenzae transcipients carried a large plasmid, and they were in turn efficient donors of their resistances in standard conjugation cross ... | 1980 | 6966629 |
