متن کاملClostridium perfringens within intracardiac thrombus: a case of intracardiac gas gangrene.
A70-year-old man with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and a known right atrial mass, presumed to be thrombus, presented to the hospital with 3 weeks of fevers and chills. One year before this admission, transesophageal echocardiography had demonstrated a 333-cm mass in the right atrium, extending into the superior vena cava (Figure, panel a). The mass was contiguous with the tip of a Groshong c...
متن کاملUterine Perforation with Intra-Abdominal Clostridium perfringens Gas Gangrene: A Rare and Fatal Infection

Of these 18 reported cases, only 5 have occurred in nonpregnant women. This article presents the 6th case of myometrium necrosis from C. perfringens.Case: A 72-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 2, presented with abdomin...
متن کاملStress proteins of Clostridium perfringens type A immunoreact with antiserum from rabbits infected with gas gangrene.
Various stressors were used to induce stress proteins in Clostridium perfringens. Cultures of C. perfringens FD-1041 were subjected to cold shock (28 degrees C for 1 h), acid shock (pH 4.5 for 30 min), or heat shock (50 degrees C for 30 min). Cells were lysed and protein samples were analyzed by immunoblotting with antiserum derived from rabbits suffering from gas gangrene. Eight cold shock pro...
متن کاملMode of action of plectasin-derived peptides against gas gangrene-associated Clostridium perfringens type A
NZ2114 and MP1102 are novel plectasin-derived peptides with potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The antibacterial characteristics and mechanism of NZ2114 and MP1102 against gas gangrene-associated Clostridium perfringens were studied for the first time. The minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration of NZ2114 and MP1102 against resistant C. perfringens t...
