Microbial flora variations in the respiratory tract of mice.
A stable microbial system in the respiratory tract acts as an important defense mechanism against pathogenic microorganisms. Perturbations in this system may allow pathogens to establish. In an ecological environment such as the respiratory tract, there are many diverse factors that play a role in the establishment of the indigenous flora. In the present work we studied the normal microbial flo...
متن کاملThe flora of the respiratory tract in chronic disease *
Assessment of the significance of the presence or absence of pathogenic bacteria in sputum specimens is made difficult by a number of factors which are discussed. It is now generally accepted that Haemophilus influenzae is the organism most commonly responsible for recurrent or persistent sputum purulence in chronic lower respiratory disease. The close association between this organism and chro...
متن کاملSelective media for recovery of Haemophilus influenzae from specimens contaminated with upper respiratory tract microbial flora.
Isolation of Haemophilus influenzae from specimens contaminated with upper respiratory tract microbial flora was attempted with three different media: enriched chocolate agar, chocolate agar plus vancomycin, and chocolate agar plus vancomycin, bacitracin, and clindamycin. Recovery rates of H. influenzae from 852 pediatric pharyngeal swab specimens were 6.0, 28.5, and 59.9%, respectively.
متن کاملThe Role of Leukotrienes in Respiratory Tract and Asthma
Polyunsaturated fatty acids play a role as precursors of biologically active compounds that can act as mediators or modulators of various cell functions. Thus three main groups of derivatives the prostaglandins, the thromboxanes, and recently discovered leukotrienes are formed by oxygenation and further transformation of various polyunsaturated fatty acids of which arachidonic acid plays t...
متن کاملUpper respiratory tract and aural flora of saturation divers.
The conditions of helium saturation diving promote the proliferation of Gram-negative bacterial species in the external auditory meatus of divers. These changes in flora occurred in the absence of operational diving, that is, no contact with water. The colonising bacteria were autogenous in origin and cross-colonisation was observed between divers. On return to normal atmospheric conditions the...
