| bacaba beverage produced by umutina brazilian amerindians: microbiological and chemical characterization. | bacaba chicha is a beverage prepared by the indigenous umutina people from the bacaba fruit (oenocarpus bacaba), a purple berry that is rich in fat and carbohydrates, as well as a source of phenolic compounds. in this study, samples of bacaba chicha beverage were collected, and the microbial community was assessed using culture-dependent and -independent techniques. the nutritional composition and metabolite profiles were analyzed, and species belonging to lactic acid bacteria (lab) and yeasts w ... | 2017 | 26691483 |
| identification of propionibacterium avidum from a breast abscess: an overlooked etiology of clinically significant infections. | we report the case of a 37-year-old previously healthy woman diagnosed with a breast abscess due to propionibacterium avidum after breast reduction surgery. this case emphasizes the potential pathogenicity and morbidity associated with this commensal skin organism. | 2015 | 25830026 |
| propionibacterium avidum infection following breast reduction: high morbidity from a low-virulence pathogen. | propionibacterium avidum is a common inhabitant of sebaceous glands, traditionally considered to be of low virulence and generally found on implanted foreign material. we report a rare case of p. avidum breast abscess, causing severe morbidity following breast reduction surgery. a 36-year-old woman presented with a non-painful wound discharge 3 weeks postoperatively, and was treated conservatively. she was readmitted 7 weeks postoperatively with a red and tender breast. a purulent discharging ab ... | 2015 | 25672974 |
| [propionibacterium avidum cutaneous abscess in a young immunocompetent]. | severe infections by propionibacterium avidum are rare, we report a case of abscess of the root of the thigh in a young immunocompetent adult with no risk factor for infection with propionibacterium sp. the liquid of abscess pus was inoculated immediately on culture media enriched and incubated under an atmosphere 5 to 10% co2. the isolated strain was identified by api coryne gallery (biomérieux, marcy l'étoile, france). an mic of ciprofloxacin was performed by e-test (biomérieux marcy l'étoile) ... | 2013 | 24342792 |
| physiological and functional characteristics of propionibacterium strains of the poultry microbiota and relevance for the development of probiotic products. | the prevention and control of pathogens colonization through probiotics administration in poultry feeding is of increasing interest. the genus propionibacterium is an attractive candidate for the development of probiotic cultures as they produce short chain fatty acids (scfa) by carbohydrates fermentation. the presence of strains of this genus in hens of conventional production systems and backyard hens was investigated. propionibacteria were isolated from the intestine and identified by physiol ... | 2013 | 23973927 |
| complete genome sequence of propionibacterium avidum strain 44067, isolated from a human skin abscess. | propionibacterium avidum is an anaerobic gram-positive bacterium that forms part of the normal human cutaneous microbiota, colonizing moist areas such as the vestibule of the nose, axilla, and perineum. here we present the complete genome sequence of p. avidum strain 44067, which was isolated from a carbuncle of the trunk. | 2013 | 23792747 |
| abdominal wall and intra-peritoneal abscess by propionibacterium avidum as a complication of abdominal parietoplasty. | propionibacteria are organisms of low pathogenicity and only a minority of clinical propionibacterium isolates is clinically significant. herein, we report a rare case of propionibacterium avidum abdominal wall and intra-peritoneal abscess that developed in 46-year-old woman after abdominal parietoplasty. | 2013 | 23415274 |
| propionibacterium avidum: a virulent pathogen causing hip periprosthetic joint infection. | propionibacteria are important members of the human skin microbiota, but are also opportunistic pathogens associated with periprosthetic joint infection (pji). while the role of propionibacterium acnes in pji has been widely described, insight into the capacity of propionibacterium avidum to cause pji is limited. | 2018 | 29020266 |
