ANAEROBES IN PLEUROPULMONARY INFECTIONS

Anaerobes in genitourinary infections in men.

Urethral and sub-preputial swabs from 150 men were examined. There was a strong association between the isolation of anaerobic bacteria, particularly Bacteroides spp, and a clinical diagnosis of balanoposthitis, non-specific urethritis (NSU), or both. Aerobic bacteria formed the predominant flora in 28 healthy controls whereas anaerobes were predominant in specimens from 79 patients with balano...

Black-pigmented gram-negative anaerobes in endodontic infections.

Necrotic dental root canal infections are polymicrobial infections dominated by anaerobic bacteria. The number of different species in one canal is usually low, approx. 4-7 species. The species isolated most frequently belong to the genera Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Fusobacterium, Peptostreptococcus, Eubacterium and Streptococcus. The frequency of isolation of black-pigmented Gram-negative anae...

Anaerobes in bacterial vaginosis.

Four hundred high vaginal swabs were taken from patients attending gynaecology and obstetrics department of Govt. medical college, Amritsar. The patients were divided into four groups i.e. women in pregnancy (Group I), in labour/post partum (Group II), with abnormal vaginal discharge or bacterial vaginosis (Group III) and asymptomatic women as control (Group IV). Anaerobic culture of vaginal sw...

Anaerobes in Clinical Microbiology

During the past decade Ihe clinical spectrum of anaerobic in fection has been redefined, inilially largely by workers in the USA ' but later with con tribut ions from Britain,2·3 after many years of neglect. However, even as it was defined it changed. The infections lollowing large-bowel surgery which received most attention are now much less common because 01 the effectiveness 01 prophylactic ...
