Enhancement of Bacteroides intermedius growth by Fusobacterium necrophorum.
Previous work from this laboratory has demonstrated the persistence of Bacteroides intermedius in the livers of mice receiving an intraperitoneal inoculum of B. intermedius and Fusobacterium necrophorum. This study was undertaken to determine whether F. necrophorum enhanced the in vitro growth of B. intermedius. Tryptose phosphate broth did not support the growth of B. intermedius alone, but th...
متن کاملPrimary meningitis caused by Bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterium necrophorum.
A fatal case of meningitis due to Bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterium necrophorum is reported. This appears to be the first case in which meningitis due to these organisms was not secondary to a disease elsewhere in the body. The organisms are difficult to culture and strict anaerobic methods should be used whenever they are suspected. Intravenous metronidazole is probably the antibiotic of ...
متن کاملFusobacterium necrophorum Pharyngitis Complicated by Lemierre's Syndrome
We report the case of an 18-year-old woman who was referred to our outpatient clinic because of a 2-week history of sore throat, high fever, and neck tenderness unresponsive to a 7-day amoxicillin/clavulanic acid course. Infectious mononucleosis was initially suspected, but an extremely high value of procalcitonin and clinical deterioration suggested a bacterial sepsis, prompting the patient ad...
متن کاملHuman infections with Fusobacterium necrophorum.
Fusobacterium necrophorum is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacillus that can be a primary pathogen causing either localised abscesses and throat infections or systemic life-threatening disease. Systemic infections due to F. necrophorum are referred to as either Lemierre's disease/syndrome, post-anginal sepsis or necrobacillosis, but in the context of this mini-review, all are included under the umb...
متن کاملDisseminated intravascular coagulation in Fusobacterium necrophorum septicemia.
A previously healthy 42-year-old man developed, after a neglected tonsillitis, a severe Fusobacterium necrophorum septicemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Peripheral, painful, cyanotic and gangrenous lesions appeared on toes, external ears and nose tip. The patient survived. Consumption coagulopathy associated with tonsillitis should suggest F. necrophorum infection. Growth of th...
