| anaerobic, non-sporulating, gram-positive bacilli bacteraemia characterized by 16s rrna gene sequencing. | owing to the difficulties in identifying anaerobic, non-sporulating, gram-positive bacilli in clinical microbiology laboratories, the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of disease of many of these bacteria have been poorly understood. the application of 16s rrna gene sequencing in characterizing bacteraemia due to anaerobic, non-sporulating gram-positive bacilli during a 4-year period is described. the first case of olsenella uli bacteraemia, in a patient with acute cholangitis, is also reported ... | 2004 | 15585505 |
| faecal steroids and bacteria and large bowel cancer in hong kong by socio-economic groups. | in a study of three socio-economic groups in hong kong, the high income group had a high faecal concentration of bile acids, especially the dihydroxy bile acids, compared to the low income group. the faecal bile acids were also more highly degraded. the faecal flora contained more bacteroides and fewer eubacteria. very few of the clostridia able to dehydrogenate the steroid nucleus were isolated. an epidemiological study based on street blocks indicated that the high income group also have a hig ... | 1976 | 962996 |
