| phylogenetic relationships between some members of the genera neisseria, acinetobacter, moraxella, and kingella based on partial 16s ribosomal dna sequence analysis. | we obtained 16s ribosomal dna (rdna) sequence data for strains belonging to 11 species of proteobacteria, including the type strains of kingella kingae, neisseria lactamica, neisseria meningitidis, moraxella lacunata subsp. lacunata, [neisseria] ovis, moraxella catarrhalis, moraxella osloensis, [moraxella] phenylpyruvica, and acinetobacter lwoffii, as well as strains of neisseria subflava and acinetobacter calcoaceticus. the data in a distance matrix constructed by comparing the sequences suppor ... | 1994 | 7520730 |
| moraxella septic arthritis of the knee joint: a case report. | moraxella osloensis pyarthrosis of the knee joint is an unusual infection. the diagnosis can be quite difficult since the organism is fastidious in its growth characteristics. this case report presents an adult with m. osloensis sepsis of the knee, which could only be diagnosed by arthroscopic synovial biopsy and culture. moreover, arthroscopy played a critical role in the definitive therapy. | 1986 | 3730070 |
| neisseria meningitidis and moraxella osloensis: dual infection in blood and peritoneal fluid. | the clinical course of a malnourished alcoholic in which neisseria meningitidis was isolated from the blood and moraxella osloensis from the peritoneal fluid is described. following bacteriologic diagnosis, the patient was treated and responded to a course of penicillin therapy. to our knowledge, this represents the first case of peritonitis associated with m. osloensis. clinical reports of the isolation of this organism are rare; its pathogenicity is not clearly established, and the presence of ... | 1988 | 3149224 |
| infections caused by moraxella, moraxella urethralis, moraxella-like groups m-5 and m-6, and kingella kingae in the united states, 1953-1980. | from 1953 to 1980 the centers for disease control received 933 isolates of bacteria belonging to species of the genus moraxella, moraxella-like moraxella urethralis, now renamed oligella urethralis, unnamed groups m-5 and m-6, and kingella kingae. ordinarily sterile sites were the source of 233 isolates. moraxella nonliquefaciens, the most common isolate (356 strains), was recovered from upper respiratory or ocular sites in 208 (58%) of the cases. moraxella osloensis was next most common (199 st ... | 1990 | 2359906 |
| [distribution of species of moraxella and moraxella-like organisms in the nasopharynx of healthy human adults (author's transl]. | by means of a lincomycin containing selective medium, gram-negative, oxidase-positive, non-motile, non-saccharolytic, penicillin-sensitive rods have been isolated from 24 of 165 healthy adults (13,9%). three strains were lost, 7 strains were moraxella osloensis (4,2%), 12 strains were neisseria elongata (7,3%) and 2 strains were considered to be a subspecies of n. elongata (1.2%). by agglutination and immunodiffusion could be demonstrated that n. elongata is a serologically heterogenous species. ... | 1976 | 1004377 |
| [moraxella osloensis as pathogen in septicemia (author's transl)]. | a case of septicemia caused by moraxella osloensis is described. a 4-year old girl fell ill with symptoms similar to those described in cases of septicemia caused by neisseria meningitidis. two days after the commencement of treatment with penicillins, however, moraxella osloensis could be isolated from cerebral fluid, which contained only a small number of cells. it is assumed that the delayed recovery of the child was directly related to the diminished susceptibility of this moraxella strain t ... | 1976 | 824208 |
| moraxella bacteremia. report of a case resembling gonococcemia with cutaneous manifestations. | a case of a moraxella osloensis bacteremia mimicking a case of gonococcemia, complete with cutaneous manifestations, is presented. the importance of confirming all positive smears with inhibitory and noninhibitory culture media is stressed. | 1978 | 648166 |
| fibrinous pericarditis secondary to bacterial infection in a cat. | a three-year-old spayed domestic short-haired cat presented for evaluation of weight loss, cardiomegaly and pleural effusion. echocardiographic examination demonstrated a thickened pericardium with mild pericardial effusion and a large volume of pleural effusion characterized by exudate. although the cat was treated with antibiotics, the clinical symptoms did not improve. the cat developed dyspnea and died on day 7. necropsy revealed a large amount of modified transudates ascites, pleural effusi ... | 2017 | 28484098 |
