| actinobacillus sp. bacteremia in foals: clinical signs and prognosis. | medical records of 101 blood culture-confirmed bacteremic foals were reviewed to determine whether foals with actinobacillus sp. bacteremia are affected at an earlier age, have more severe signs of disease, and have a worse prognosis than do foals with bacteremia of other causes. thirty percent (30/101) of bacteremic foals had actinobacillus sp. cultured, and these were 2 times more likely to die (crude odds ratio [or(cr)] 0.8, 4; p = .14), with a survival rate of 43% (13/30) compared to the ove ... | 2002 | 12141310 |
| acquisition and colonization stability of actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and porphyromonas gingivalis in children. | the presence of porphyromonas gingivalis has been shown to be a risk factor for periodontitis in adults, and actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans has been implicated as a pathogen in early-onset periodontitis. both species have been shown to establish stable colonization in adults. in cross-sectional studies, both a. actinomycetemcomitans and p. gingivalis have been detected in over one-third of apparently healthy children. information on the stability of colonization with these organisms in chi ... | 2000 | 10699021 |
