| faecal flora of south indian infants and young children in health and with acute gastroenteritis. | the faecal flora of 29 healthy infants and young children was compared with that of 49 children of similar age and socio-ecomonic status with acute gastroenteritis. in the healthy children the most common organisms in the faeces were bifidobacteria, veillonellae, enterobacteria and enterodocci with anaerobes outnumbering aerobes. most members of the noraml faecal flora were present in the diarrhoeal stools, but anaerobes were signigicantly reduced in number and enterobacteria were significantly ... | 1978 | 660639 |

| occurence of veillonella and neisseria in the niches of the human oral cavity. | samples collected from the dental surface, gingival sulcus, dorsum of the tongue and from the cheek of ten adults (18 to 32 years) were investigated to identify the veillonella and neisseria species present by applying the taxonomic criteria suggested in the latest edition of bergey's manual. the various niches contain both v. parvula and v. alcalescens, but with the predominance of strains which do not fit precisely the described catalase and putrescine requirements. eighty-nine out of 100 isol ... | 1979 | 461857 |
| [first steps in the bacterial colonization of the digestive tract of neonates (author's transl)]. | meconium samples obtained from 14 children aged 18 to 51 h were subjected to a quantitative differential analysis. the meconium of one of the children (47 h old) was sterile; in those of the 11 infants aged less than 47 h the dominant flora was composed of either enterobacteria, mainly escherichia coli sensitive to usual antibiotics, or of streptococci. the genus acinetobacter constituted the dominant flora in one case only. staphylococcus, corynebacterium, clostridium (c. perfringens), bacteroi ... | 1979 | 475219 |

| in vitro activity of sodium fusidate against anaerobic bacteria. | the microtiter broth dilution method was employed to determine the in vitro susceptibility of 525 recent clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria to sodium fusidate. the minimal inhibitory concentrations of sodium fusidate ranged from </=0.06 to 1.0 mug/ml for 155 strains of anaerobic gram-positive rods and 130 strains of anaerobic gram-positive cocci. minimal inhibitory concentrations ranging from </=0.06 to 32 mug/ml were observed for 240 strains of anaerobic gram-negative rods. among the latte ... | 1979 | 485124 |
| the effects of azathioprine and levamisole on lymphocyte stimulation. | azathioprine at 10 micrograms per ml caused approximately a 50% inhibition of phytohaemagglutinin (pha), purified protein derivative (ppd) or veillonella induced in vitro lymphocyte stimulation. this suppression was significantly reduced in lymphocyte cultures from patients undergoing an eight week course of levamisole therapy. azathioprine-induced suppression was also reversed when culturing lymphocytes in the presence of levamisole. on the other hand, levamisole in vitro failed to reverse the ... | 1979 | 527269 |
| recovery of anaerobic bacteria from pediatric patients. a one-year experience. | during 1975, 115 speciments from the soft tissues, body fluids, and purulent sites in 105 pediatric ward and nursery patients were submitted to the clinical laboratory for anaerobic study, and 75% of the cultures were positive. in most instance specimens were collected in anaerobic transport tubes containing peptone yeast extract and glucose. in the laboratory, samples were processed by the anaerobic holding jar method. nineteen different anaerobic organisms were isolated; the average number of ... | 1979 | 495592 |
| comparison of three methods of susceptibility testing of bacteroidaceae, peptococcaceae and other anaerobes to doxycycline. | the in vitro activity of doxycycline against 147 strains of gram-positive and gram-negative anaerobes was determined by broth dilution, agar dilution and agar diffusion tests. the strains were isolated from clinical specimens in 1977. saccharolytic bacteroides strains (39 b. fragilis, 6 b. thetaiotaomicron, 4 b. vulgatus) showed broth dilution mics of less than or equal to 0.0625-4.0 microgram/ml after 5 h incubation and mics of less than or equal to 16 microgram/ml after 15 h incubation at 37 d ... | 1979 | 543353 |
| factors affecting adhesion of bacterial to a tooth in vitro. | the initial adhesion of oral bacteria to a tooth in vitro was examined. the organisms were grown in broth with and without sucrose, and suspensions made either in broth or a modified ringer's solution. the tooth used was either dry or coated with natural or synthetic saliva. adhesion was determined by counting organisms removed from the tooth surface by simple washing or by sonication. it was found that the firmest bonding occurred when a dry tooth was immersed in a suspension of bacteria in rin ... | 1979 | 551240 |
| chemotaxis or migration inhibition of rabbit peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes caused by chemoattractants at various concentrations. | purified lipopolysaccharide (lps) from veillonella incubated in normal rabbit serum was tested for chemotactic activity on rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmns) in modified boyden chambers. in doses above those giving optimal response (over-optimal dose), a decrease of the pmn migration activity was found. this decrease also correlated well with an increase in the migration inhibition of the pmns as demonstrated with the capillary tube assay. the pmn chemotactic factor isolated from lps-ind ... | 1979 | 525354 |
| synthesis of alpha-ketoglutarate by reductive carboxylation of succinate in veillonella, selenomonas, and bacteriodes species. | evidence for reductive carboxylation of succinate to synthesize alpha-ketoglutarate was sought in anaerobic heterotrophs from the rumen and from other anaerobic habitats. cultures were grown in media containing unlabeled energy substrates plus [14c]succinate, and synthesis of cellular glutamate with a much higher specific activity than that of cellular asparate was taken as evidence for alpha-ketoglutarate synthase activity. our results indicate alpha-ketoglutarate synthase functions in selenomo ... | 1979 | 533772 |

| adherence of veillonella species mediated by extracellular glucosyltransferase from streptococcus salivarius. | the effect of extracellular products from streptococcus salivarius on sucrose-dependent adherence to smooth surfaces by other oral bacteria was studied in vitro. strains of streptococcus mitis, streptococcus pyogenes, and veillonella parvula without innate ability to adhere to a steel wire were able to do so when incubated with sucrose and cell-free culture fluid from s. salivarius strains 9759, 25975, cnii, and mepi. these culture fluids synthesized more adherent material and water-insoluble gl ... | 1977 | 591064 |
| in vitro sensitivity of anaerobic bacteria to fosfomycin. | the minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined in 98 strains of anaerobic bacteria that came from clinical samples against fosfomycin, penicillin, cephalothin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, clindamycin and lincomycin. the results obtained indicate that fosfomycin is usually inactive against bacteroides sp. and is active up to 32 mug/ml or less against 85% of peptococcus and 95% of peptostreptococcus, being consequently comparatively less active than the rest of the antibiotics that were ... | 1977 | 583867 |
| bacteremia after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. | during 24 months, 200 upper gastrointestinal endoscopies were performed on 193 patients. blood cultures were obtained before and five and 30 minutes after the procedure using thiol (50 ml) and trypticase soy broth (100 ml) media. the mean endoscopic time was 34 minutes. sixteen patients developed bacteremia (8%). twelve groups of microorganisms were detected in positive blood cultures: streptococcus (5 species), lactobacillus sp, veillonella alcalescens, staphylococcus aureus, staph epidermidis, ... | 1977 | 404974 |
