| molecular analysis of oral and respiratory bacterial species associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia. | trauma intensive care unit (ticu) patients requiring mechanical respiratory support frequently develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (vap). oral and oropharyngeal bacteria are believed to be responsible for many cases of vap, but definitive evidence of this relationship is lacking. earlier studies used conventional culture-based methods for identification of bacterial pathogens, but these methods are insufficient, as some bacteria may be uncultivable or difficult to grow. the purpose of this s ... | 2007 | 17301280 |
| a detailed analysis of 16s ribosomal rna gene segments for the diagnosis of pathogenic bacteria. | bacterial 16s ribosomal rna (rrna) genes contain nine "hypervariable regions" (v1-v9) that demonstrate considerable sequence diversity among different bacteria. species-specific sequences within a given hypervariable region constitute useful targets for diagnostic assays and other scientific investigations. no single region can differentiate among all bacteria; therefore, systematic studies that compare the relative advantage of each region for specific diagnostic goals are needed. we characteri ... | 2007 | 17391789 |

| evaluation of the microbiota of primary endodontic infections using checkerboard dna-dna hybridization. | the aim of this study was to evaluate the composition of the microbiota of primary endodontic infections in 111 selected cases of single-rooted teeth with necrotic pulp. | 2007 | 17949342 |
| neisseria mucosa bursitis. a rare cause of gas in soft tissue. | a 24-year-old woman with shoulder pain had an expanding gas-containing radiolucency adjacent to the glenoid. she had been treated with prednisone intermittently for asthma. after unsuccessful attempts at percutaneous drainage, open exploration was performed with resection of a bursa containing gelatinous material and gas bubbles. the culture grew neisseria mucosa, an organism that infrequently causes infections and is often categorized as nonpathogenic. this case illustrates that soft tissue gas ... | 1988 | 3370877 |
| pulmonary cavitation due to neisseria mucosa in a child with chronic neutropenia. | a case of spontaneous pulmonary abscess with cavitation caused by neisseria mucosa in a chronically neutropenic child is reported. neisseria mucosa was isolated as the sole pathogen from a percutaneous needle aspirate. it appears that the clinical course of the pulmonary lesion was indolent. interestingly, a gallium scan was diagnostic for pulmonary abscess even though the child was neutropenic. | 1988 | 3134206 |

| plasmid mediated antibiotic resistance in marine bacteria. | this research work was conducted in uppanar estuary to ascertain the role of plasmids in the antibiotic resistance of bacteria. water and sediment samples were collected for a period of three months. when tested against 20 antibiotics 22 mar strains were isolated from the samples, which were found resistant to 5-13 antibiotics. they belong to 7 genera and 10 species. gram-negative bacteria namely neisseria mucosa, n. sicca, branhamella catarrhalis, klebsiella ozaenae, citrobacterintermedius, pse ... | 2007 | 18380085 |

| respiratory symptoms due to branhamella catarrhalis and other neisseria species infections--response to erythromycin therapy. | neisseria microorganisms (neisseria lactamica, neisseria sicca, and neisseria mucosa) are regarded as normal respiratory commensals. branhamella catarrhalis (formerly neisseria catarrhalis) has also been regarded as a normal respiratory commensal, but reports indicate that it can be pathogenic. the role of neisseria spp was studied in 160 patients with chest infections and symptoms and signs of obstructive respiratory disease. group i patients (n = 140) had a history of asthma, bronchitis, and e ... | 1989 | 2509070 |
| a microbiological profile of symptomatic teeth with primary endodontic infections. | the aim of this study was to evaluate the composition of the microbiota of primary endodontic infections associated with symptomatic teeth. samples were collected by means of a #15 h-type file and 2 sterile paper points from 60 symptomatic (n = 30) or asymptomatic (n = 30) single-rooted teeth with necrotic pulp. the presence of 40 bacterial species was determined by the checkerboard dna-dna hybridization method. the species found in higher counts (x10(5)) in symptomatic cases were fusobacterium ... | 2008 | 18436031 |
| multicenter evaluation of the new vitek 2 neisseria-haemophilus identification card. | the new neisseria-haemophilus identification (nh) card for vitek 2 was compared with 16s rrna gene sequencing (16s) as the reference method for accurate identification of neisseria spp., haemophilus spp., and other fastidious gram-negative bacteria. testing was performed on the vitek 2 xl system with modified software at three clinical trial laboratories. reproducibility was determined with nine atcc quality control strains tested 20 times over a minimum of 10 days at all three sites. a challeng ... | 2008 | 18579712 |
| periodontal status of patients with dentin dysplasia type i: report of three cases within a family. | dentin dysplasia type i (ddi) is a rare hereditary disturbance of dentin formation. it is characterized by clinically normal-appearing crowns; obliteration of pulp chambers; and short, blunted and malformed roots that are commonly associated with periodontal attachment loss (pal). in this context, we report three cases within a family with similar clinical and radiographic features of ddi but with differing microbiologic and periodontal conditions. | 2008 | 18597615 |
