| multiple brain abscesses caused by streptococcus bovis. | a case of multiple brain abscesses caused by streptococcus bovis in a 28-year-old man is described. infected bronchiectasis is presumed to be the source of infection. streptococcus bovis infection is a rare cause of brain abscess. the aetiology and manifestations of this infection are discussed. | 1991 | 1753121 |
| preliminary observations of interaction between bacteriophages and streptococcus bovis bacteria on ruminal epithelium primoculture. | five streptococcus bovis strains (47/3, 59/2, 4/1, 46/2 and 44/9) isolated from calf ruminal fluid samples were examined for the adherence to cultured ruminal epithelium cells. four strains (47/3, 59/2, 4/1 and 46/2) were able to attach to the cultured epithelial cells. however, s. bovis 47/3 strain attached to the target cells in significantly greater numbers than the other strains. strain 44/9 did not adhere to cells of ruminal epithelium. the adherent bacteria were observed on the surface of ... | 1991 | 1771751 |
| intracellular ph of acid-tolerant ruminal bacteria. | acid-tolerant ruminal bacteria (bacteroides ruminicola b1(4), selenomonas ruminantium hd4, streptococcus bovis jb1, megasphaera elsdenii b159, and strain f) allowed their intracellular ph to decline as a function of extracellular ph and did not generate a large ph gradient across the cell membrane until the extracellular ph was low (less than 5.2). this decline in intracellular ph prevented an accumulation of volatile fatty acid anions inside the cells. | 1991 | 1781695 |
| growth and morphology of streptococcus bovis and of mixed rumen bacteria in the presence of aflatoxin b1, in vitro. | the metabolism of aflatoxin b1 to other fluorescent compounds was studied in rumen organisms. no fluorescent metabolites were found by chromatographic procedures which separate aflatoxin b1 from them. rumen bacteria (mixtures and streptococcus bovis) incubated with aflatoxin b1 grew in long chains whereas cells in control cultures were mainly doublets with some short chains. growth of mixed rumen bacteria and streptococcus bovis cultures was inhibited by aflatoxin b1 as measured by change in opt ... | 1976 | 1262566 |
| frothy feedlot bloat in cattle: production of extracellular polysaccharides and development of viscosity in cultures of streptococcus bovis. | streptococcus bovis was cultured in a synthetic medium with three concentrations of sucrose. initial viscosity of the media was 1.5 centipoise (cp). after incubation for 8 h, the viscosity of the medium with 0.5% sucrose was unchanged, that with 3% sucrose had increased to 8 cp, and that with 6% sucrose to 112 cp. similar results were found with a rumen fluid medium. a slimy material, responsible for increased viscosity of these cultures, was digested by dextranase. the material appeared as a co ... | 1976 | 1260538 |
| fecal carriage of streptococcus bovis and colorectal adenomas. | an association between fecal carriage of streptococcus bovis and colorectal carcinoma has been reported. a relationship between s. bovis and colorectal adenomas has also been suggested. in the present study, the relationship between s. bovis and adenomas was investigated. two of 18 current adenoma patients (11%) were found to have s. bovis in their stool compared with 12 of 84 controls (14%). six of 38 patients who had ever had a diagnosis of adenoma (16%) had s. bovis compared with 8 of 64 cont ... | 1991 | 1823534 |
| regulation of lactate dehydrogenase and change of fermentation products in streptococci. | streptococcus mutans jc 2 produced mainly lactate as a fermentation product when grown in nitrogen-limited continuous culture in the presence of an excess of glucose and produced formate, acetate, and ethanol, but no lactate, under glucose-limited conditions. the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) in these cultures were of the same order of magnitude, and the activity of ldh was completely dependent on fructose-1,6-diphosphate (fdp). the intracellular level of fdp was high and the level of ph ... | 1975 | 1176435 |
| phage resistance and altered growth habit in a strain of streptococcus bovis. | bacteriophage (phi sb01) of streptococcus bovis, isolated from pooled rumen fluid of cattle, was a small siphovirus of morphotype b1. it contained double-stranded dna of length 30.9 kb, which was digested by the restriction endonucleases, ecori, hindiii, and pvuii. bacteria which survived phi sb01 infection (strain 2bar) grew in long chains (100-200 cells), ultimately forming large clumps of cells. this growth habit was in distinct contrast to that of the parent host strain which grew predominan ... | 1991 | 1884977 |
| [problems posed by the association of streptococcus d infectious endocarditis and colorectal tumor]. | the problems arising from the discovery of a colorectal tumor during an infectious endocarditis caused by streptococci d have rarely been mentioned in the surgical literature. the frequency of association of an asymptomatic colorectal tumor and of a streptococcus bovi endocarditis is now undisputed. this notion implies the systematic search for an intestinal lesion (adenoma or carcinoma) in case of endocarditis or septicemia without involvement of the valves, caused by a streptococcus of group d ... | 1992 | 1339726 |
| a survey of peptidase activity in rumen bacteria. | twenty-nine strains of 14 species of rumen bacteria were screened for their ability to hydrolyse ala2, ala5, glyarg-4-methoxy-2-naphthylamide (glyarg-mna) and leu-mna. several species, notably megasphaera elsdenii, were active against ala2, and a smaller number, including bacteroides ruminicola, butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, ruminococcus flavefaciens, lachnospira multipara and ruminobacter amylophilus, broke down ala5. streptococcus bovis had an exceptionally high leucine arylamidase activity. howe ... | 1991 | 1748877 |

| isolation and identification of rumen bacteria capable of anaerobic phloroglucinol degradation. | eight strains of rumen bacteria capable of degrading phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) under anaerobic conditions were isolated from enrichment cultures of the bovine rumen microflora established in a prereduced medium containing 0.02 m phloroglucinol. five of the strains were facultatively anaerobic gram-positive streptococci which were identified as streptococcus bovis. three strains of obligately anaerobic gram-positive cocci were assigned to the genus coprococcus. anaerobic cultures o ... | 1975 | 1170929 |
| differentiation of enterococci from other group d streptococci by means of a specific monoclonal antibody. | we report on the specificity of a monoclonal antibody which reacts with autoclaved extracts of four species of enterococci but does not react to the same extent with similar extracts from two non-enterococcal group d streptococci. the monoclonal antibody also reacts specifically with purified lipoteichoic acid from streptococcus faecalis but not significantly with purified lipoteichoic acid from the non-enterococcal species streptococcus bovis and streptococcus equinus. the specific antigen dete ... | 1991 | 1936940 |
| enumeration by a miniaturized method of escherichia coli, streptococcus bovis and enterococci as indicators of the origin of faecal pollution of waters. | counts of escherichia coli, faecal streptococci and enterococci were made on faecal specimens from human and animal origin and urban raw sewage waters, with microtiter plates containing selective substances. escherichia coli was more numerous than faecal streptococci and enterococci in 80% of the samples regardless of the origin. consequently the use of the ratio e. coli/faecal streptococci to distinguish human from animal origin of faecal pollution is questionable. enterococcus faecalis was pre ... | 1991 | 1938678 |
| bacteriocins of streptococcus bovis. | forty-seven strains of streptococcus bovis were tested for bacteriocin production. fourteen were found to produce bacteriocins, while all 47 were sensitive to at least one of these bacteriocins. the bacteriocins, on the basis of their host range on s. bovis strains, formed six groups. a representative of each group was selected and characterized by temperature stability, sensitivity to trypsin and lipase, sedimentation by centrifugation, ability to pass through dialysis tubing, host range on oth ... | 1976 | 963612 |
| a re-assessment of bacterial growth efficiency: the heat production and membrane potential of streptococcus bovis in batch and continuous culture. | glucose-limited, continuous cultures (dilution rate 0.1 h-1) of streptococcus bovis jb1 fermented glucose at a rate of 3.9 mumol mg protein-1 h-1 and produced acetate, formate and ethanol. based on a maximum atp yield of 32 cells/mol atp (stouthamer 1973) and 3 atp/glucose, the theoretical glucose consumption for growth would have been 2.1 mumol mg protein-1 h-1. because the maintenance energy requirement was 1.7 mumol/mg protein/h (russell and baldwin 1979), virtually all of the glucose consump ... | 1991 | 1953297 |

| lysogeny in streptococcus bovis. | forty-eight strains of streptococcus bovis were tested for induction with mitomycin c. eleven inducible strains were found and the lysates of all 11 contained bacteriophage-like particles. the lysate of one strain also contained large numbers of particles which closely resembled polyheads. eight of the lysates produced zones of inhibition on indicator strains and viable bacteriophages were detected in six lysates. the sources of the s. bovis were ovine and bovine rumen fluid (23 strains), ovine ... | 1976 | 945121 |
| [community- and hospital-acquired bacteremia: a retrospective study in a regional hospital. iii. microbiological aspects]. | a retrospective study was made of all blood cultures performed over a 40-month period at the ivrea-castellamonte hospital (turin, italy). a total of 4386 vials from 619 patients were examined. there were 619 positive vials (14.1%) from 131 patients (21.2%) corresponding to 145 bacteremia episodes, including 129 monomicrobial (89%) and 16 polymicrobial (11%). ten patients (1.6%) had more than one episode. there were 73 polluted vials (1.7%). a total of 165 microorganism were isolated: gram-positi ... | 1990 | 2133330 |
| streptococcus bovis bacteremia and underlying gastrointestinal disease. | twenty-six adults with streptococcus bovis endocarditis and ten with bacteremia alone were studied to determine possible portals of entry. of 36 patients (17 with endocarditis, eight with bacteremia alone), 25 had gastrointestinal lesions or manipulation. in 22, the gastrointestinal tract appeared to be the source of s bovis bacteremia. four patients had either carcinoma of the colon (two) or potentially malignant villous adenomas (two) when first seen because of s bovis bacteremia. none of thes ... | 1978 | 666468 |
| formation of a clear zone on tannin-treated brain heart infusion agar by a streptococcus sp. isolated from feces of koalas. | gram-positive cocci, isolated from the feces of koalas and identified as streptococcus bovis biotype i, formed a distinct clear zone on tannin-treated brain heart infusion agar, suggesting that this isolate has the unique characteristic of degrading the tannin-protein complex. | 1990 | 2180375 |
| in vitro activity and beta-lactamase stability of the new oral cephalosporin bay v 3522. | the activity of the new oral cephalosporin bay v 3522 was compared to that of six other beta-lactam agents. bay v 3522 inhibited methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermidis at less than or equal to 2 micrograms/ml, compared to mics of greater than or equal to 8 micrograms/ml for the other cephalosporins tested. it was more active against streptococcus pyogenes (mic less than or equal to 0.06 microgram/ml) than cefuroxime, cefixime, cephalexin and cefaclor. groups ... | 1990 | 2226499 |

| streptococcus bovis septicemia and carcinoma of the colon. | we prospectively studied patients with streptococcus bovis septicemia for the presence of gastrointestinal lesions. this study was prompted by our reported findings of the association of fecal carriage of s. bovis with carcinoma of the colon. we studied 29 patients with 30 episodes of s. bovis septicemia. fifteen completed gastrointestinal evaluations that included colonscopy, surgery, or autopsy. eight of these had carcinoma of the colon, three had adenomatous polyps of the colon without carcin ... | 1979 | 484953 |
| low-affinity, high-capacity system of glucose transport in the ruminal bacterium streptococcus bovis: evidence for a mechanism of facilitated diffusion. | the glucose phosphotransferase system (pts) of streptococcus bovis could not account for the glucose consumption of exponential cultures, and the kinetics of glucose transport were biphasic. a pts-deficient mutant lost the high-affinity, low-capacity system but retained its ability to take up glucose at high substrate concentrations. the low-affinity, high-capacity system did not require a proton motive force or atp and could not be driven by an artificial membrane potential in the presence or a ... | 1990 | 2268149 |
| serologic studies of streptococcus intermedius, streptococcus constellatus, and streptococcus morbillorum by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. | a reference antigen-antibody system for streptococcus intermedius, streptococcus constellatus, and streptococcus morbillorum was established with crossed immunoelectrophoresis. a comparison of s. intermedius, s. constellatus, and s. morbillorum with crossed immunoelectrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis with intermediate gel indicated that s. intermedius and s. constellatus are closely related antigenically with as many as six common cytoplasmic antigens. s. morbillorum was antigenicall ... | 1979 | 453098 |
| the survival of streptococci and enterococci in animal feed and on straw with particular reference to streptococcus uberis. | the survival of streptococcus uberis, strep. bovis, enterococcus faecalis spp. faecalis and ent. faecium in animal feed and on wheat straw was studied for one month. streptococcus bovis survived the best in feed and strep. uberis the worst while on straw ent. faecium was the most resilient species and there was little to choose between the other three. the recovery of all species, excepting strep. bovis, on selective and non-selective agar was comparable. the growth of strep. bovis, on the other ... | 1990 | 2351619 |
| succession of streptococcus bovis strains with differing bacteriophage sensitivities in the rumens of two fistulated sheep. | the bacteriophage sensitivity of the streptococcus bovis population resident in the rumens of two fistulated sheep was monitored for 112 days. during this time, three changes in the bacteriophage sensitivity of s. bovis occurred in the absence of detectable bacteriophages. identical changes in bacteriophage sensitivity occurred simultaneously in both animals and, except for the relatively short periods of changeover in phage sensitivity, the s. bovis population in the rumens of the two sheep was ... | 1977 | 326185 |
