lipolytic bacteria in the ottawa river.	lipolytic bacteria were isolated from two stations on brewery creek, an arm of the ottawa river, during the winter of 1971-72. total counts were approximately sevenfold higher at the more polluted downstream station, whereas lipolytic counts were about 100-fold higher. at this station, significantly more lipolytic bacteria grew on plates incubated at 20 c than at 4 c, suggesting that the population was comprised of both mesophiles and psychrophiles. however, at the upstream station, approximatel ...	1973	4762394
incidence of bacteremia in transesophageal echocardiography: a prospective study of 140 consecutive patients.	the incidence of bacteremia related to transesophageal echocardiography was studied in 140 consecutive patients (71 women and 69 men with a mean age of 53.7 +/- 15 years). thirty-four patients had one or more prosthetic heart valves. blood cultures were obtained from each patient through separate venipuncture sites immediately before and after transesophageal echocardiography. an additional late blood culture was obtained in 114 patients 1 h later. the skin was cleaned with povidone-iodine and v ...	1991	1960310
