Recent taxonomic changes and terminology update of clinically significant anaerobic gram-negative bacteria (excluding spirochetes).
Because of access to 16S rDNA sequencing, changes in the taxonomy and nomenclature of anaerobic gram-negative bacteria have occurred lately. New genera and species have been described, and existing taxa have been reclassified. The present article compiles a list of clinically relevant anaerobes and provides synonyms as well as the old nomenclature used for these bacteria. Although names and cla...
متن کاملIdentification of clinically significant anaerobic bacteria.
By combining the various methodologies for anaerobic bacteriology, a scheme has been developed with four flow charts for the identification of the clinically significant anaerobic organisms. This scheme incorporates the use of gas chromatography and a micromethod biochemical system.
متن کاملLecithinase production by gramnegative bacteria.
Lecithinase production by microorganisms has been investigated in an attempt to use it in the classification of bacteria, and to associate formation with toxicity and virulence. The first record of this reaction was made when Nagler (1939) and Seifert (1939) observed, independently, the formation of an opalescence in human serum by the a toxin of Clostridium perfringens. It was soon found that ...
متن کاملRoutine testing for anaerobic bacteria in cerebrospinal fluid cultures improves recovery of clinically significant pathogens.
In North America, the widespread use of vaccines targeting Haemophilus influenzae type b and Streptococcus pneumoniae have dramatically altered the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis, while the methodology for culturing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens has remained largely unchanged. The aims of this study were 2-fold: to document the current epidemiology of bacterial meningitis at a terti...
متن کاملClinically significant anaerobic bacteria isolated from patients in a South African academic hospital: antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
BACKGROUND. Increasing resistance to some antimicrobial agents among anaerobic bacteria has made susceptibility patterns less predictable. METHOD. This was a prospective study of the susceptibility data of anaerobic organisms isolated from clinical specimens from patients with suspected anaerobic infections from June 2005 until February 2007. Specimens were submitted to the microbiology laborat...
