T HE purpose of this report is to describe the successful treatment of a case of bacterial endocarditis due to Brucella abortus. As far as I have been able to discover at the date of writing, no successfully treated case of this disease has been reported previously, with the exception of a case of mixed bacterial endocarditis presented in 1954 by Quinn and Brown.' A second case of treated Br. a...

متن کاملSuccessful Medical Treatment of Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis Caused by Brucella abortus
Although Brucella endocarditis is a rare complication of human brucellosis, it is the main cause of the mortality in this disease. Traditionally, the therapeutic approach to endocarditis caused by Brucella species requires a combination of antimicrobial therapy and valve replacement surgery. In the literature, only a few cases of mitral prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Brucella species h...
متن کاملRegulation of Brucella abortus catalase.
All aerobic organisms have mechanisms that protect against oxidative compounds. Catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and thioredoxin are widely distributed in many taxa and constitute elements of a nearly ubiquitous antioxidant metabolic strategy. Interestingly, the regulatory mechanisms that control these elements are rather different depending on the nature of the oxidativ...
