| faecal bacterial flora in patients with colon cancer and control subjects. | faeces from 10 colon cancer patients and from 10 control subjects were studied by quantitative and qualitative aerobic and anaerobic techniques using a variety of non selective, selective and differential media. in several cases, there were significantly different numbers of organisms of specific types recovered from the two groups studied. most prominent and meaningful findings were the higher frequency of isolation and counts of bacteroides species (especially b. fragilis group) and of c. para ... | 1981 | 7199237 |
| characterization of the adherence properties of streptococcus salivarius. | the adherence and aggregation properties of 46 human oral streptococcus salivarius isolates were examined. a total of 41% of the isolates aggregated with whole human saliva, 50% aggregated with human erythrocytes, and 85% adhered to human buccal epithelial cells. strains that aggregated with saliva and erythrocytes usually reacted with streptococcus group k typing serum whereas the non-hemagglutinating strains did not. k+ strains also adhered more strongly to human buccal epithelial cells than k ... | 1980 | 7216420 |
| selective antibacterial properties of lysozyme for oral microorganisms. | the antibacterial properties of lysozyme were investigated with oral microorganisms representing the seven serotypes (a through g) of streptococcus mutans, veillonella alcalescens, and the virulent (v) and avirulent (av) strains of actinomyces viscosus t14. growth of bacteria in defined medium was monitored spectrophotometrically after the addition of various amounts (25 mug to 5 mg/ml) of enzyme. no growth inhibition of v. alcalescens was observed. inhibition of a. viscosus t14(v) and a. viscos ... | 1980 | 7216430 |

| molybdate and sulfide inhibit h2 and increase formate production from glucose by ruminococcus albus. | h2 production from glucose by ruminococcus albus was almost completely inhibited by 10(-5) m molybdate only when sulfide was present in the growth medium. inhibition was accompanied by a significant increase in the production of formate. extracts of molybdate-sulfide-grown cells did not contain hydrogenase activity. active enzyme in extracts of uninhibited cells was not inhibited by the molybdate-sulfide-containing growth medium. the results indicate that a complex formed from molybdate and sulf ... | 1980 | 7369826 |

| a comparative study of glucose and galactose uptake in pure cultures of human oral bacteria, salivary sediment and dental plaque. | the ability to utilize glucose and the weaker sugar acidogen, galactose, was surveyed in salivary sediment, pooled dental plaque, and in pure cultures of the bacteria that numerically comprise most of the bacteria in these mixed microbial systems. except for a veillonella isolate, which showed no uptake of either sugar, glucose was utilized more rapidly than galactose by the 27 pure cultures tested and by both sediment and plaque. this sugar difference was also seen for two other measures of gly ... | 1995 | 7487576 |
| phylogenetic placement of dialister pneumosintes (formerly bacteroides pneumosintes) within the sporomusa subbranch of the clostridium subphylum of the gram-positive bacteria. | the nucleotide sequence of the 16s rrna gene of the type strain of dialister pneumosintes was determined. phylogenetic analysis revealed that this species belongs to the sporomusa branch of the clostridium subphylum of the gram-positive bacteria and should therefore be excluded from the family bacteroidaceae. within this branch, which encompasses several other gram-negative taxa, such as acidaminococcus, pectinatus, phascolarcobacterium, quinella, selenomonas, and zymophilus, dialister showed a ... | 1995 | 7537075 |

| the predominant cultivable flora of sound and carious human root surfaces. | little detailed knowledge exists about the composition of the human root flora. therefore, the predominant cultivable flora (pcf) was determined for samples of: (1) plaque from sound root surfaces (srs) in eight subjects without root caries, (2) plaque from incipient root lesions (irl) in eight subjects with root caries, and (3) carious material from advanced root lesions (arl) in nine other subjects with root caries. generally, one root surface was sampled per subject, and organisms-358, 512, a ... | 1994 | 7983259 |
| chemostat flow cell system: an in vitro model for the evaluation of antiplaque agents. | we developed an experimental in vitro model of dental plaque to assess the potential efficacy of antiplaque agents. the model used a chemostat, which provided a continuous source of 5 species of oral bacteria grown in an artificial "saliva-like" medium. this mixture was pumped through six flow cells, each containing two types of surfaces on which plaque formed and was subsequently measured. formation of bacterial plaque on hydroxyapatite surfaces was assessed by measurement of the dna and protei ... | 1994 | 7983262 |

| the bacteriology of obstructive pneumonitis. a prospective study using ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle aspiration. | obstructive pneumonitis, the opacity that develops distal to an obstructing endobronchial lesion or external compression, is actually a combination of atelectasis, bronchiectasis with mucus plugging, and true parenchymal inflammation. in the majority of cases, it is usually not possible to determine whether infection is present or not from the radiographic findings alone. the aim of this study was to evaluate the bacteriology of obstructive pneumonitis and the influence of this result on the tre ... | 1994 | 8004324 |
| the effects of a 0.3% triclosan-containing dentifrice on the microbial composition of supragingival plaque. | 144 subjects completed a 6-month, double-blind study which examined the effects of a 0.3% triclosan/2% copolymer/0.243% sodium fluoride dentifrice on the microflora of supragingival dental plaque. the subjects were randomly assigned to use, in an oral hygiene program, either the triclosan/copolymer/fluoride test dentifrice or a control dentifrice. the latter had the same formulation as the test dentifrice except it did not contain triclosan. supragingival plaque was collected from the buccal and ... | 1994 | 8034778 |

| tetracycline resistance in periodontal pathogens. | antimicrobial agents are used in combination with debridement to eliminate putative periodontal pathogens, including porphyromonas gingivalis, prevotella intermedia, and actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, from diseased tissues. the most frequently used antimicrobial agents are the tetracyclines. however, these agents are not effective in some patients. this lack of efficacy may be due to antimicrobial resistance. as many as 75% of the bacteria in the subgingival flora may be resistant to tetr ... | 1993 | 8324137 |
