| immunochemical study of the peptidoglycan of gram-negative bacteria. | the specificity of antibodies directed against the peptidoglycan of gram-negative bacteria was studied. the peptidoglycans of proteus vulgaris, escherichia coli, moraxella glucidolytica, neisseria perflava, give identical precipitin reactions. by means of inhibition studies with various peptidoglycan subunits and synthetic peptides, it was shown that the antibodies are essentially directed against the peptide moiety of the peptidoglycan: l-ala-d-glu (l)-mesoa2pm-(l)-d-ala, that the peptide react ... | 1976 | 60233 |
| rational choice of penicillins and cephalosporins based on parallel in-vitro and in-vivo tests. | because of the unavailability of strictly comparable data, seven representative penicillins and the five cephalosporins currently used in britain were evaluated in parallel, both in vitro and in vivo. penicillin sensitive and resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus and proteus mirabilis were the main test organisms. minimum bacteriocidal concentrations of cloxacillin, flucloxacillin, cephalothin, and cephazolin in serum were much higher than conventional minimum inhibitory concentrations in t ... | 1976 | 61353 |

| inhibition of phagocytosis in vitro by obligate anaerobes. | a variety of species of obligate anaerobes have been shown to interfere with the phagocytosis and killing of proteus mirabilis and other aerobic bacteria in vitro. although all the obligate anaerobes examined showed this activity, the effect was greatest with strains of bacteroides melaninogenicus and b. fragilis. in contrast, none of the 36 aerobes tested acted in this way. these observations suggest that the presence of obligate anaerobes may be fundamental to the pathogenesis of some types of ... | 1977 | 73952 |

| antibacterial activity of a new parenteral cephalosporin--hr 756: comparison with cefamandole and ceforanide. | hr 756, a new parenteral cephalosporin that is beta-lactamase resistant, was tested against 271 bacterial isolates. both agar and broth dilution testing were employed, using two media and two inoculum sizes of bacteria. antibacterial activity of the drug was compared to that of cefamandole (cfm) and ceforanide (cfn). in agar, hr 756 was more active than cfm and cfn against all bacteria tested except isolates of staphylococcus aureus, which were better inhibited by cfm. hr 756 exhibited some anti ... | 1979 | 112919 |
| in vitro comparison of rosamicin and erythromycin against urinary tract pathogens. | the in vitro activity of rosamicin and erythromycin was compared at various ph values against 311 strains of bacteria representing common urinary tract pathogens. alkalinization of the media consistently and significantly increased the antibacterial activity of rosamicin against all of the organisms tested. this was also true for erythromycin except when tested against strains of proteus. at ph 8, rosamicin was two- to sixfold more active than erythromycin against enterobacteriaceae. the activit ... | 1979 | 112920 |

| oropharyngeal microflora in aboriginal and non-aboriginal australian children. an indicator of environmental contamination. | faecal microorganisms, not normally resident in the oropharynx, were isolated much more often from aboriginal than non-aboriginal australian children. this is almost certainly due to differences in standards of hygiene and living in these two groups, and is an important factor in contributing to the common and serious problem of gastrointestinal infections in young aborigines. in the non-aboriginal group, the isolations of faecal organisms were much more common from infants and from children und ... | 1979 | 117289 |
| [epidemiology of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections (author's transl)]. | among hospital-acquired infections, urinary tract infections are the widest spread. the most common pathogenic agents are e. coli, enterococci and proteus mirabilis. indwelling bladder catheters account for about 70% of infections. suprapubic urine drainage can reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections by approximatively 50%. | 1979 | 117318 |
