Spontaneous pyogenic spondylitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
A 72-year-old woman without a history of spinal injury was admitted to our hospital with prolonged severe back pain and high fever. Clinical laboratory findings and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed severe inflammation of the L2 and L3 lumbar vertebrae. Meropenem trihydrate administration improved her symptoms. Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from the patient's blood indicated that the o...
متن کاملProteomics of Protein Secretion by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
The extracellular proteome (secretome) of periodontitis-associated bacteria may constitute a major link between periodontitis and systemic diseases. To obtain an overview of the virulence potential of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, an oral and systemic human pathogen implicated in aggressive periodontitis, we used a combined LC-MS/MS and bioinformatics approach to characterize the secre...
متن کاملA case of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans endocarditis presenting as quadriceps myositis
An 80 year old female was admitted with an eight week history of fever associated with painful swelling of her right thigh, and a long history of poor dentition. Culture of blood stained fluid aspirated from the abscess grew Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) sensitive to ampicillin and cephalosporins. Transoesophageal echocardiography indicated endocarditis. Four weeks treatment with i...
متن کاملRare case of pyogenic brain abscess in a immunocompetent children caused by Streptococcus intermedius
Background: Brain abscess is rare but life-threatening infection in children. It caused by parameningeal infections like otitis, sinusitis and mastoiditis. Case description A twelve-year-old boy without any antecedent was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of palpebral tumefaction increased after treatment of ethmoiditis. A cranial computed tomography (CT) examination showed an intr...
متن کاملQuantitative Proteomics Reveal Distinct Protein Regulations Caused by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans within Subgingival Biofilms
Periodontitis is an infectious disease that causes the inflammatory destruction of the tooth-supporting (periodontal) tissues, caused by polymicrobial biofilm communities growing on the tooth surface. Aggressive periodontitis is strongly associated with the presence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in the subgingival biofilms. Nevertheless, whether and how A. actinomycetemcomitans orche...
