| mitral bioprosthetic valve endocarditis caused by an unusual microorganism, gemella morbillorum, in an intravenous drug user. | we report a case of gemella morbillorum mitral bioprosthetic valve endocarditis with perivalvular extension in a 44-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-positive man who is an active intravenous drug user together with review of all published cases. this is only the second reported case of gemella morbillorum endocarditis in a patient with a prosthetic valve. | 2004 | 15472375 |
| coaggregation profiles of the microflora from root surface caries lesions. | bacterial coaggregation reactions between different species and the auto aggregation of the same species are associated with the initiation and development of dental plaque and biofilms. as no such data is available on isolates from root caries lesions, we evaluated, by a visual, semi-quantitative scoring system and a spectrophotometric, quantitative assay, the coaggregation of 22 different wild-type microbial species comprising ten bacterial genera and a single candida spp. the quantitative coa ... | 2005 | 15598414 |

| bacteria recovered from dental pulp induce apoptosis of lymph node cells. | apoptosis is critical in the pathogenesis of several infectious diseases. the induction of apoptosis was assessed in mouse lymph node cells by four bacteria recovered from infected human dental pulp: gemella morbillorum, clostridium butyricum, fusobacterium nucleatum and bifidobacterium adolescentis. smaller lymph nodes and smaller numbers of cells were observed after experimental dental pulp infection with c. butyricum, suggesting that this bacterium induces cell death. apoptosis was evaluated ... | 2005 | 15770029 |

| [liver abscess caused by gemella morbillorum]. | gemella morbillorum, an anaerobic-to-aerotolerant gram-positive coccus, is a normal flora of the oral cavity, respiratory tract, urogenital organ and gastrointestinal tract, and infections caused by this organism are unusual. it has been associated mainly with endocarditis and bacteremia, and rarely with arthritis, spondylodiscitis, meningitis, brain abscess and septic shock. liver abscess caused by g. morbillorum is very rare, and only a few cases were reported. we experienced a case of liver a ... | 2005 | 16030405 |
| a fatal case of ludwig's angina and mediastinitis caused by an unusual microorganism, gemella morbillorum. | we present a case of ludwig's angina in a 48-y-old immunocompetent male caused by an unusual pathogen, gemella morbillorum. the infection was complicated with mediastinitis and despite aggressive management of the disease the patient died after 12 d of hospitalization. this is the first reported case of ludwig's angina caused by g. morbillorum and emphasizes that the disease remains a potentially lethal infection. | 2005 | 16051575 |
| pleural empyema associated with gemella morbillorum: report of a case and review of the literature. | gemella morbillorum, a microaerophilic gram-positive coccus, is a natural inhabitant of the human oropharyngeal, gastrointestinal and urogenital flora. however, it is an infrequently isolated organism and a rare cause of pulmonary or pleural infections. we report on a 26-y-old male subject with a past medical history of epilepsy and intravenous drug abuse, who presented with imminent sepsis and respiratory failure. computed tomography of the thorax revealed a pleuropulmonary consolidation of the ... | 2005 | 16051579 |
| in vitro activity of daptomycin against clinical isolates of gram-positive bacteria. | we determined the activity of daptomycin, a recently fda-approved antimicrobial agent, against clinical isolates of gram-positive bacteria, including viridans group streptococci (16 streptococcus mitis species group, 12 s. mutans species group, 9 s. anginosus species group, 8 s. sanguinis species group, 5 s. salivarius species group) from patients with infective endocarditis, 32 methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, 32 high-level penicillin-resistant streptococcus pneumoniae, 38 vancomyci ... | 2005 | 16133715 |
| a case of septic arthritis due to infection with gemella morbillorum. | gemella morbillorum is a facultatively anaerobic gram-positive coccus which forms part of the normal flora of the oro-pharynx and the upper respiratory tract. it rarely causes human infection but has been described previously in cases of empyema and lung abscess, septic shock, endocarditis, meningitis, and osteomyelitis. we describe a case of septic arthritis due to g. morbillorum occurring in an otherwise healthy 42-year old man and review previous reports of infection in the literature. | 2005 | 16230205 |
| an unusual case of brain abscess by gemella morbillorum. | a case of deep brain abscess by gemella morbillorum is described. due to high fever, lethargy, severe headache, and the risk of intraventricular rupture of the suppurative lesion, a ct-guided stereotactic aspiration of the abscess was successfully performed. the patient responded well to a 6-week course of meropenem, metronidazole, and fluconazole. gemella spp. should not be considered as trivial commensals of the mucous membranes, but appear as emerging pathogens involved in endocarditis, septi ... | 2006 | 16632915 |

| gemella endocarditis: consider the colon. | gemella species, including gemella morbillorum, are part of the normal flora of the human oropharynx, upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. differentiation of gemella from viridans streptococci in the laboratory may be difficult. although uncommonly pathogenic, they have been implicated in a variety of human infections, most notably infective endocarditis. dental instrumentation appears to be the usual source of infection. the case is reported of gemella morbillorum native valve en ... | 2006 | 17152793 |
| molecular epidemiology of macrolide and tetracycline resistances in commensal gemella sp. isolates. | the epidemiologic relatedness of 29 erythromycin-resistant gemella sp. strains from normal flora, characterized previously, were evaluated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge). three isolates carried the tet(o) gene and the tet(m) gene. the msr(a) gene was found in two gemella morbillorum strains in combination with the erm(b) or mef(e) gene. the sequences of the mef(a/e), erm(b), and msr(a) genes showed a high similarity to the corresponding sequences of other gram-positive cocci. all the ... | 2007 | 17283201 |
| 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 |

| pulmonary nodules associated with gemella bacteremia: ct findings in two children with osteosarcoma. | gemella morbillorum and gemella haemolysans are normal oral flora that can also be pathogenic. we report 2 cases of adolescents with osteosarcoma who developed multiple pulmonary nodules associated with gemella bacteremia. these nodules mimicked metastatic disease. to our knowledge, this manifestation of gemella infection has not been previously reported. in the setting of malignancy, infectious pulmonary nodules must be distinguished from metastatic nodules in order to treat appropriately. | 2007 | 17527126 |
| prospective study of bacteremia and complications with eus fna of rectal and perirectal lesions. | recent studies showed that endoscopic ultrasound (eus)-guided fine-needle aspiration (fna) is a low-risk procedure for causing bacteremia and infectious complications when sampling solid lesions of the upper gastrointestinal (gi) tract. as a result, antibiotics are not recommended for prophylaxis against endocarditis. our aim was to prospectively evaluate the risk of bacteremia and other infectious complications in patients undergoing eus fna of lower gi tract lesions. | 2007 | 17544995 |
| gemella morbillorum liver abscess. | we report a case of liver abscess caused by gemella morbillorum. g. morbillorum was isolated and confirmed from both pus and blood. the patient recovered uneventfully after catheter drainage and treatment with cefmetazole. this is the first case report of liver abscess caused by g. mobillorum in the english literature. | 2007 | 17577836 |
