| bacterial studies of clindamycin-associated colitis. a preliminary report. | the cause of pseudomembraneous colitis is not known but has been attributed to an alteration in the microbial flora of the colon. to test this hypothesis, a blind, prospective study was undertaken in which fecal samples were cultured quantitatively for aerobic and anaerobic organisms. the patients from which these samples were taken were all receiving clindamycin and had diarrhea secondary to the use of the drug. we were able to show definite differences in the colonic microflora which correlate ... | 1975 | 1097297 |
| evaluation of antibacterial activities of cephalosporin antibiotics: cefazolin, cephaloridine, cephalothin, and cephalexin. | the antibacterial activities of 4 cephalosporin antibiotics, cefazolin, cephaloridine, cephalothin and cephalexin, against 330 isolates of bacteria from patients at national taiwan university hospital, were determined by an agar plate dilution technique. cephalosporins possess strong antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria except enterococci. staphylococcus aureus is the most susceptible among the organisms tested. more than 90% of staphylococcus aureus strains are suppressed by ce ... | 1975 | 1097210 |
| comparative in vitro acitvity of chloramphenicol and thiamphenicol on common aerobic and anaerobic gram-negative bacilli(salmonella and shigella excluded). | the antibacterial activity of thiamphenicol was compared to that of chloramphenicol against 313 strains of gram-negative bacilli isolated from various clinical specimens. these two antiboitics were equally active against the 106 isolates of haemophilus mic equals 0.1 minus 1.56 mu g/ml) and against 40 strains of bacteroides fragilis (almost all strains being inhibited by 12.5 mug/ml of the two drugs). in contrast, when compared with chloramphenicol, 2-16 times as much of thiamphenicol was requir ... | 1975 | 1097209 |
| cephradine in urinary tract infections: a double-blind comparison with ampicillin. | a double-blind trial was carried out comparing cephradine and ampicillin in the treatment of urinary tract infections in 42 females attending a hospital department of obstetrics and gynaecology. results showed that patients did better in the cephradine group than the ampicillin group, both bacteriologically and clinically. the numbers in each group were small, however, and did not reach statistical significance. | 1975 | 1097196 |
| [differentiation of tryptophanases of five species of enterobacteriaceae by sulfhydryl groups]. | we have studied the sulfhydryl groups (-sh) on the tryptophanases (tpases) from escherichia coli b. and e. aurescens, shigella alkalescens, and proteus vulgaris and p. morganii. the coli group and the p. morganii apo tpases have 20 -sh groups per mole of enzyme, where as p. vulgaris apotpase has 16. in coli group tpases, there are 16 -sh groups on the mole surface and they are all implicated in the activity and the enzyme-substrate bond. proteus morganii tpase has 8 surface -sh groups, 4 of whic ... | 1975 | 1097069 |
| [physical and chemical properties of tryptophenases of five species of enterobacteriaceae]. | the molecular weight, sedimentation coefficient, and amino acids composition were determined on five tryptophanases (tpases) from escherichia coli b and e. aurescens, shigella alkalescens, and proteus vulgaris and p. morganii. these tpases have identical sedimentation profile and coefficient (9.6 s), and the same molecular weight (220 000). each enzyme is constituted of four identical subunits having a molecular weight of 55 000. the amino acids composition of these tpases is very similar, with ... | 1975 | 1097068 |
| the natural history of renal and ureteric calculi. | in a prolonged follow-up of a series of 416 patients at the london hospital stone clinic it was found that recurrence could still occur even as long as 10 years after the first stone, though this risk decrease slowly year by year. recurrence is seldom related to hypercalciuria or urinary infection except when infection is caused by or associated with b. proteus in women. claims for the value of any form of therapy for stone disease must be evaluated against the background of the natural history ... | 1975 | 1097021 |
| [purification of beta-lactamases by affinity chromatography]. | affinity columns able to purifie beta-lactamases have been prepared either by linking covalently reversible inhibitors or substrates to agarose beds. the enzyme is eluted with a gradient of sodium chloride or released with the substrate. this method is a pertinent one for the purification of these enzymes and for the study of bacteria harbouring more than one beta-lactamase. | 1975 | 1096966 |
| microbiological characteristics of dungeness crab (cancer magister). | aerobic, heterotropic microorganisms of dungeness crab (cancer magister) were isolated from raw crab, cooked crab, crab meats obtained during commercial processing, and from retail crab meat samples. each microbial isolate was then identified to the genus level employing the revised replica plating procedure. microbial groups most commonly isolated from crab meat were, in the order of predominance, moraxella, pseudomonas, acinetobacter, arthrobacter, micrococcus, flavobacterium-cytophaga, and ba ... | 1975 | 1096824 |
| antibacterial activity of cinoxacin in vitro. | cinoxacin is a new synthetic compound similar chemically and in antimicrobial activity to oxolonic acid and nalidixic acid. it is most effective against escherichia coli and proteus mirabilis, but at concentrations expected in the urine it is inhibitory for all species of enterobacteriaceae. relative to nalidixic acid, cinoxacin has slightly greater inhibitory and bactericidal activity, less inoculum effect probably due to less heterogeneity in the susceptibility of bacterial cells, and less inh ... | 1975 | 1096811 |
| the pulmonary response to a bacteremic challenge. | the pulmonary response to a bacteremic challenge was studied in a mouse model. the distribution of intravenously injected radiotracer-labeled proteus mirabilis and staphylococcus aureus in the lungs, liver, spleen, kidney, and blood was examined at 0, 5 30, 60, and 240 min. pulmonary killing of these organisms was studied at 0, 30, and 240 min; 0.8 plus or minus 0.1 per cent of the p. mirabilis and 1.5 plus or minus 0.2 per cent of the s. aureus remained within the lungs after 4 hours. although ... | 1975 | 1096694 |
| effect of microorganisms isolated from the upper gut of malnourished children on intestinal sugar absorption in vivo. | the effect of microorganisms isolated from the upper gastrointestinal tract of malnourished children on intestinal sugar absorption was studied in rats in vivo. pure cultures of organisms were grown overnight in a nutrient broth and the resultant supernatant fluid which contained microorganisms in similar numbers to those found in the patients was used as the basic solution for jejunal perfusions which were done in anesthetized adult wistar rats. the substrate used was arbutin (p-hydroxphenyl-be ... | 1975 | 1096588 |
| urinary tract infections in black female children. | it has been demonstrated in several studies that prepubertal black females have a lower incidence of urinary tract infection than do white females of the same age. other racial differences in the natural history of urinary tract infection have been suggested, but thus far very few young black girls with urinary tract infection have been thoroughly studied. the records of 56 black female children with urinary tract infections were reviewed and the clinical, laboratory, and radiologic manifestatio ... | 1975 | 1096401 |
| regional differences in patterns of urinary tract infections. | the identity of 693 pathogenic bacilli isolated from 2,175 urine specimens cultured during a two-year period in southeastern new mexico is presented along with results of sensitivity testing by kirby-bauer technique. the pattern of infections and sensitivity studies in hospitalized patients is compared with that of office patients and contrasted with results noted in other areas. | 1975 | 1096400 |
| decrease in ribosomal density of proteus mirabilis exposed to subinhibitory concentrations of ampicillin or cephalothin. | the finding of reduced ribosomal densities at lower concentrations than those required to stop growth or cause visible defects in the cell wall is in contrast to the current view that the initial lesion produced by penicillins or cephalosporins is a defect in murein synthesis (11). this reduction in ribosomal density could be a primary or secondary effect and might be due to a decreased rate of growth, which has been shown to be associated with a lower ribosome frequency (12, 13) or to less stab ... | 1975 | 1096166 |
| [phagocytosis of cell wall defective bacteria by human macrophages (author's transl)]. | statistically significant better phagocytosis of spheroplasts was found by comparing the rate of phagocytosis of normal and penicillin-g induced cell wall defective bacterial (spheroplasts) by human macrophages in isotonic media using a proteus mirabilis strain as test organism. this provides additional information concerning the minor role of cell wall defective bacteria as persisters in chronic infections. | 1975 | 1095903 |

| self-mutilation in mice associated with otitis media. | mutilation of the external ear and adjacent tissues was an enzootic problem in outbred mcr:(icr) breeder mice in a commercial colony. necropsy examination of affected and randomly selected, nonaffected adult breeder mice revealed a probable association of the cutaneous lesions with suppurative otitis media. several microorganisms, including mycoplasma pulmonis and pasteurella pneumotropica, were isolated from the tympanic bullae. | 1975 | 1095819 |
| r factors from proteus mirabilis and p. vulgaris. | eighty-nine r factors were transmitted by conjugation to escherichia coli k12 from isolates of proteus hauseri (p. mirabilis plus p vulgaris). more than half were non-selftranmissible. the remainder included plasmids assigned to the previously defined groups fii,a-c complex, j, n and p, as well as some not belonging to any knwon compatibility groups. r factors from strains isolated in india, thailand and japan carried plasmids whose inheritance was extremely unstable in e. coli k12. all belonge ... | 1975 | 1095684 |
| measurement of redox potential changes in anaerobic culture media caused by addition of blood. | a method has been described whereby the redox potential of unsealed and manipulated samples of solution can be determined. this method includes treating the platinum electrode with strong cleaning solution, adjusting the electrode with a culture of proteus vulgaris in tryptic soy broth, and doing all manipulations inside a glove box that is continuously flushed with oxygen-free gas. this study has shown that prereduced media are much more reduced than media which have been dispensed only under a ... | 1975 | 1095669 |
| transition of the r factor nr1 and proteus mirabilis: level of drug resistance of nontransitioned and transitioned cells. | when proteus mirabilis harboring the r factor nr1 is cultured in penassay broth containing 100 mug of chloramphenicol (cm) per ml, there is an amplification in the number of copies of the r-determinants per cell. under these conditions, r factors harboring multiple tandem sequences of r-determinants are formed. autonomous poly-f-determinants consisting of multiple copies of r-determinants are also formed. this phenomenon has been referred to as the "transition". transitioned cells have considera ... | 1975 | 1095563 |
| variation in expression of sex factor genes in the proteus-providencia group relative to escherichia coli. | several instances of anomalous expression of genes introduced from escherichia coli k-12 into proteus mirabilis have been described. it is shown here that control of sex pilus synthesis directed by the f-like r factor r1 and its depressed derivatives r1-16 (o-c) and r1-19 (i-minus) is also anomalous in p. mirabilis. piliation in cells bearing the depressed plasmids is expressed at a lower level than in e. coli k-12, and repression is absent in r1-carrying cells. preliminary results show a simila ... | 1975 | 1095557 |
| [cephalosporin antibiotics from microbiologic viewpoint. a comparison of antibacterial and pharmacokinetic properties]. | with the necessity not only of differentiating between effectiveness and non-effectiveness, as in the earlier phases of chemotherapy, but also of detecting graduated differences in effect quantitatively, animal experiment and clinical trial have been shown to be no longer adequate. in a correlating comparison of antibacterial activity with the drug level in vivo as the two decisive basic elements of chemotherapeutic effect, new and interesting possibilities arise for the evaluation of antibiotic ... | 1975 | 1095503 |
| aminopenicillins - clinical pharmacology and use in disease states. | ampicillin introduced in 1961 has been administered in the treatment of diverse infections by both oral and parenteral means. oral infections of the upper airways such as otitis media, bronchitis, and pneumonia have responded with high success rates since the microorganisms involved have remained sensitive to ampicillin. similarly, out-patient urinary tract infections caused by escherichia coli, proteus mirabilis, and enterococci are cured. typhoid fever may yet be treated with ampicillin, but s ... | 1975 | 1095502 |
| [aminopenicillins from microbiological viewpoint]. | in this report it was tried to emphasize several microbiological aspects of the amino-penicillin. hereby it turns out that the activity differences of all the substances are very similar on microbiological part. a break of the cross-resistance does not happen with all the amino-penicillins. with regard to the appearance of resistant strains, it can be told that the conditions still are advantageous on non-hospitalized patients in the totality. in the clinic a high part of resistant strains are f ... | 1975 | 1095501 |
