| observations on salpingitis, peritonitis and salpingoperitonitis in a layer breeder flock. | a flock of 13,951 hens and 1379 cockerels was monitored from 26 to 58 weeks of age for the complex of salpingitis, peritonitis and salpingoperitonitis (sps). two hundred and forty-three hens (78 per cent of the hens that died) were examined postmortem, and sps was recognised by gross examination for inflammatory exudate, in the body cavity or oviduct in 111 (46 per cent) of them. salpingoperitonitis was the most common form, followed by salpingitis and then peritonitis. there were acute and chro ... | 2005 | 16272543 |
| [update on infectious endocarditis]. | although one of the oldest known cardiac disease, infectious endocarditis (ie) remains a subject of constant change from epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic points of view. in the epidemiological field, the main feature is the increasing incidence of ie due to streptococcus bovis. representing a quarter of cases in france, this type of ie is particularly frequent in the elderly and underlying colonic disease should be investigated. in the diagnostic field, the progress of methods of micr ... | 2005 | 16294545 |
| ability of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-1 to participate in bacterial translocation across the intestinal epithelial barrier. | although hundreds of microbial species reside in the human intestinal tract, comparatively few (e.g., escherichia coli and other enterobacteria, enterococcus faecalis, etc.) are typically associated with systemic infection in postsurgical, shock, and trauma patients. syndecan-1 is the predominant cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan expressed on epithelia, and there is substantial evidence that heparan sulfate participates in interactions of a variety of frankly pathogenic microbes with mam ... | 2005 | 16317389 |
| comparison of substrate affinities among several rumen bacteria: a possible determinant of rumen bacterial competition. | five rumen bacteria, selenomonas ruminantium, bacteroides ruminicola, megasphaera elsdenii, streptococcus bovis, and butyrivibrio fibrisolvens were grown in continuous culture. estimates of substrate affinities were derived from lineweaver-burk plots of dilution rate versus substrate concentration. each bacterium was grown on at least four of the six substrates: glucose, maltose, sucrose, cellobiose, xylose, and lactate. wide variations in substrate affinities were seen among the substrates util ... | 1979 | 16345358 |
| comparison of maintenance energy expenditures and growth yields among several rumen bacteria grown on continuous culture. | maintenance energy expenditures were mesured for five rumen bacteria, selenomonas ruminantium, butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, bacteroides ruminicola, megasphaera elsdenii, and streptococcus bovis, by using a complex medium with glucose as the carbon source. large differences (as high as 8.5-fold) in maintenance energy expenditures were seen among these bacteria. the suggestion is made that maintenance requirements could be a significant determinant of bacterial competition in the rumen. theoretical ... | 1979 | 16345359 |
| effects of combinations of substrates on maximum growth rates of several rumen bacteria. | five rumen bacteria, selenomonas ruminantium, bacteroides ruminicola, megasphaera elsdenii, butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, and streptococcus bovis were grown in media containing nonlimiting concentrations of glucose, sucrose, maltose, cellobiose, xylose and/or lactate. each bacterium was grown with every substrate that it could ferment in every possible two-way combination. only once did a combination of substrates result in a higher maximum growth rate than that observed with either substrate alone ... | 1979 | 16345360 |
| rumen bacterial competition in continuous culture: streptococcus bovis versus megasphaera elsdenii. | streptococcus bovis and megasphaera elsdenii were grown in continuous culture with maltose as the limiting substrate at dilution rates of 0.36, 0.22, and 0.12 h. after each steady-state turnover, the ph was decreased by adding concentrated hcl to the medium reservoir. relative counts of the two species at each dilution rate indicated that when the ph was high (6.6 to 6.0), higher dilution rates selected for a higher ratio of s. bovis to m. elsdenii. at intermediate ph (6.0 to 5.4), higher diluti ... | 1981 | 16345793 |
| influence of plant phenolic acids on growth and cellulolytic activity of rumen bacteria. | isolated rumen bacteria were examined for growth and, where appropriate, for their ability to degrade cellulose in the presence of the hydroxycinnamic acids trans-p-coumaric acid and trans-ferulic acid and the hydroxybenzoic acids vanillic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. ferulic and p-coumaric acids proved to be the most toxic of the acids examined and suppressed the growth of the cellulolytic strains ruminococcus albus, ruminococcus flavefaciens, and bacteroides succinogenes when included in a ... | 1982 | 16346090 |
| digestion of barley, maize, and wheat by selected species of ruminal bacteria. | differences in the digestion of barley, maize, and wheat by three major ruminal starch-digesting bacterial species, streptococcus bovis 26, ruminobacter amylophilus 50, and butyrivibrio fibrisolvens a38, were characterized. the rate of starch digestion in all cereal species was greater for s. bovis 26 than for r. amylophilus 50 or b. fibrisolvens a38. starch digestion by s. bovis 26 was greater in wheat than in barley or maize, whereas starch digestion by r. amylophilus 50 was greater in barley ... | 1990 | 16348322 |
| selective medium for enumeration of tannin-protein complex-degrading streptococcus spp. in feces of koalas. | a selective agar plate medium (tannin-treated brain heart infusion agar supplemented with colistin-oxolinic acid) was developed to enumerate tannin-protein complex-degrading streptococcus bovis in the feces of koalas. this medium was successfully used to enumerate strains from fecal samples but failed to enumerate those from pure cultures. | 1990 | 16348364 |
| effects of sainfoin (onobrychis viciifolia scop.) condensed tannins on growth and proteolysis by four strains of ruminal bacteria. | sainfoin leaf condensed tannins inhibited growth and protease activity in butyrivibrio fibrisolvens a38 and streptococcus bovis 45s1 but had little effect on prevotella ruminicola b(1)4 or ruminobacter amylophilus wp225. tannins bound to cell coat polymers in all strains. morphological changes in b. fibrisolvens and s. bovis implicated the cell wall as a target of tannin toxicity. | 1994 | 16349244 |
| substrate preference in a strain of megasphaera elsdenii, a ruminal bacterium, and its implications in propionate production and growth competition. | the niah 1102 strain of megasphaera elsdenii utilized lactate in preference to glucose when the two substrates were present. even when lactate was supplied to cells fermenting glucose, the cells switched substrate utilization from glucose to lactate and did not utilize glucose until lactate decreased to a low concentration (1 to 2 mm). since substrate utilization was shifted gradually without intermittence, typical diauxic growth was not seen. the cyclic amp content did not rise markedly with th ... | 1994 | 16349276 |
| abomasal bacteria produce an inhibitor of gastrin secretion in vitro. | previously, proliferating microflora transferred with abomasal nematodes, were suspected to be the source of the gastrin inhibitor in some parasite excretory/secretory products. aerobic cultures in hbss of abomasal fluid from uninfected sheep became inhibitory during the static growth phase, unless antibiotics were present. basal gastrin secretion was reduced by up to 90%. rumen fluid and incubates and medium in which streptococcus bovis and ovine rumen actinomycete spp. had been grown also cont ... | 2006 | 16352323 |
