| [meningitis caused by streptococcus morbillorum]. | a rare case of meningitis from streptococcus morbillorum is described in a middle-aged man. a complete cure was achieved using a combination therapy of ampicillin and chloramphenicol. | 1990 | 2216038 |
| prevalence of viridans streptococci exhibiting lactose-inhibitable coaggregation with oral actinomycetes. | fresh oral isolates from human dental plaque were selected on the basis of their spherical morphology. in a double-blind experiment, their species identity and ability to coaggregate with human oral actinomyces viscosus and actinomyces naeslundii were determined. of the 110 isolates characterized, 30 were identified as either streptococcus mutans, streptococcus anginosus-constellatus, or veillonella parvula; none of these coaggregated with the actinomycetes. the remaining 80 isolates were identi ... | 1983 | 6409806 |
| abiotrophia elegans strains comprise 8% of the nutritionally variant streptococci isolated from the human mouth. | ninety-one isolates of nutritionally variant streptococci (nvs) that were previously isolated from the human mouth were regarded as consisting of 7 streptococcus defectivus isolates, 78 streptococcus adjacens isolates, and 6 gemella morbillorum isolates. however, recent references to the taxonomic reclassification of nvs, from s. defectivus to abiotrophia defectiva and from s. adjacens to abiotrophia adiacens, and the newly introduced species abiotrophia elegans as a third abiotrophia species, e ... | 1999 | 10405400 |
| recurrent aortic valve endocarditis caused by gemella morbillorum--report of a case and review of the literature. | gemella morbillorum (g. morbillorum) is part of the commensal flora of the oropharynx and intestinal tract, and on rare occasions causes infective endocarditis. a 55-year-old man with massive aortic regurgitation caused by recurrent infective endocarditis with g. morbillorum had a history of prior endocarditis caused by alpha-hemolytic streptococcus and multiple antibiotic allergies 5 years prior, and was successfully treated by aortic valve replacement. almost all the reported cases of endocard ... | 2001 | 11716255 |
| mitral bioprosthetic valve endocarditis caused by an unusual microorganism, gemella morbillorum, in an intravenous drug user. | we report a case of gemella morbillorum mitral bioprosthetic valve endocarditis with perivalvular extension in a 44-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-positive man who is an active intravenous drug user together with review of all published cases. this is only the second reported case of gemella morbillorum endocarditis in a patient with a prosthetic valve. | 2004 | 15472375 |
| gemella endocarditis: consider the colon. | gemella species, including gemella morbillorum, are part of the normal flora of the human oropharynx, upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. differentiation of gemella from viridans streptococci in the laboratory may be difficult. although uncommonly pathogenic, they have been implicated in a variety of human infections, most notably infective endocarditis. dental instrumentation appears to be the usual source of infection. the case is reported of gemella morbillorum native valve en ... | 2006 | 17152793 |
| [lethal aortic endocarditis due to gemella morbillorum in a djiboutian khat user]. | we report a 22-year-old man who presented in january 2009 in djibouti for an aortic-abscessed endocarditis due to gemella morbillorum (g. morbillorum). a voluminous aortic abscess that extended to the perimembranous ventricular septum was fistulized into the right atrium. atrioventricular conduction abnormalities were observed. the portal of entry was dental with multiples caries and a periodontitis attributed to khat chewing. the patient died within few days. diagnosis, severity and management ... | 2010 | 20413192 |
| [infectious endocarditis due to gemella morbillorum found by splenic infarction--a case report]. | a 64-year-old man with prostate cancer and bone metastasis admitted for nausea, left abdominal pain showed no abnormal, and fever, abdominal ultrasound or chest x-ray findings. despite antibiotics, left abdominal pain persisted for several days. abdominal computed tomography (ct), showed splenic infarction. transesophageal echocardiography suggested infectious endocarditis (ie) as a possible infarction cause, and roth spots were found on the retina. gemella morbillorum was detected from blood cu ... | 2010 | 20960939 |
