Moraxella Catarrhalis peritonitis
BACKGROUND Peritonitis continues to be a major complication of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. Recent advances in connectology and better patient training have decreased the incidence of peritonitis in the last two decades. Peritonitis in PD patients is usually due to gram positive and less often due to gram negative organisms. Herein we report a case of peritonitis due to Moraxell...
متن کاملRapid typing of Moraxella catarrhalis subpopulations based on outer membrane proteins using mass spectrometry.
Moraxella catarrhalis is a major mucosal pathogen of the human respiratory tract both in children and in adults. Two subpopulations of this organism have been described that differ in 16S rRNA gene sequence and virulence traits. Three 16S rRNA types have been defined. 2-DE followed by protein identification by MS revealed significant differences in the outer membrane protein (OMP) patterns of e...

متن کاملComparison of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for typing of Moraxella catarrhalis strains.
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for the analysis of 13 Moraxella catarrhalis isolates, 11 successive strains isolated from sputa of five children and 2 isolates obtained the same day from twins, were compared. RAPD and PFGE both yielded nine types from the 13 isolates, showing a chronic colonization with one strain in three patients and a su...
متن کاملComparison of restriction enzymes for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing of Moraxella catarrhalis.
NotI, the most prevalent restriction enzyme used for typing Moraxella catarrhalis, failed to digest genomic DNA from respiratory samples. An improved pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) methodology determined SpeI as the best choice for typing this bacterial species, with a good restriction of clinical samples and a good clustering correlation with NotI.
