Aerobic metabolism of Streptococcus agalactiae.
Streptococcus agalactiae cultures possess an aerobic pathway for glucose oxidation that is strongly inhibited by cyanide. The products of glucose oxidation by aerobically grown cells of S. agalactiae 50 are lactic and acetic acids, acetylmethylcarbinol, and carbon dioxide. Glucose degradation products by aerobically grown cells, as percentage of glucose carbon, were 52 to 61% lactic acid, 20 to...
متن کاملStreptococcus agalactiae
Streptococcus agalactiae, a unique bacterium commonly referred to as group B streptococcus (GBS), is evolving to become a major pathogen that causes a wide variety of problems across a broad spectrum of individuals. The greatest controversy over this bacterium involves the obstetrical patient. Lawyers have made this organism a centerpiece, leading their clients to believe that the presence of G...
متن کامل[Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis].
Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis is a rare clinical entity that is generally characterized by acute onset, the presence of large vegetations, rapid valvular destruction and frequent complications, particularly embolization. Mortality is high with medical therapy alone. The authors present a case report of Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis in a young patient treated by prompt surgery. T...

متن کاملContribution of NADH oxidase to aerobic metabolism of Streptococcus pyogenes.
An understanding of how the heme-deficient gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes establishes infections in O(2)-rich environments requires careful analysis of the gene products important in aerobic metabolism. NADH oxidase (NOXase) is a unique flavoprotein of S. pyogenes and other lactic acid bacteria which directly catalyzes the four-electron reduction of O(2) to H(2)O. To elucidate a...
