Aerobic bacterial oral flora of garter snakes: development of normal flora and pathogenic potential for snakes and humans.
Garter snakes that are used for scientific laboratory studies or kept as exotic pets often become ill and die early in captivity. They may also act as reservoirs of potential human pathogens or transmit infection to man. A total of 126 strains of aerobic and facultative bacteria, most potential human and snake pathogens, were isolated from 82 garter snake oropharyngeal cultures. Coagulase-negat...
متن کاملNormal oral bacterial flora from some southern African snakes.
Eighteen snakes representing 11 species were subject to mouth swabbing on 58 occasions. Of these swabs, 52.2% were positive for bacteria. A total of 92 bacterial isolates were cultured, representing 30 species of which 81.5% were Enterobacteriaceae, 16.3% gram positive cocci, and 2.2% anaerobes. Swabs from non-venomous snakes were more commonly bacteriologically sterile than those from venomous...

The antibacterial activities of eight snake crude venom (Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, Pseudocerastes persicus, Pseudocerastes urarachnoides, Echis carinatus sochureki, Gloydius halys caucasicus, Naja (naja) oxiana, and two species of true sea snakes Enhydrina schistose and Hydrophis cyanocinctus) were assessed against five important standard pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, ...
متن کاملThe bacterial flora of venoms and mouth cavities of Costa Rican snakes.
Bacteklfi70ru isolatedfrom the venoms and mouth cavities of Costa Rican snakes suggest that secondary bacterial infection following snakebite is a realpossibility. No one treatment strategy can be expected to completely control all infections; but the results suggest that in emergency situations administration of penicillin combined with a broad-spectrum antibiotic such as chloramphenicol or te...
متن کاملDefining the normal bacterial flora of the oral cavity.
More than 700 bacterial species or phylotypes, of which over 50% have not been cultivated, have been detected in the oral cavity. Our purposes were (i) to utilize culture-independent molecular techniques to extend our knowledge on the breadth of bacterial diversity in the healthy human oral cavity, including not-yet-cultivated bacteria species, and (ii) to determine the site and subject specifi...
