Branhamella catarrhalis
A modified oxidation-fermentation medium was developed as a practical medium for highly sensitive and specific detection of acid production from carbohydrates by Neisseria spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis. A total of 756 strains representing 17 Neisseria spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis were tested in this medium, in which the protein concentration was reduced relative to the carbohydrate conce...
متن کاملBranhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis: criteria for laboratory identification.
Eleven clinically significant isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis grew well on modified Thayer-Martin medium and produced beta-lactamase, but did not grow on nutrient agar at 22 degrees C. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin, colistin, and trimethoprim were found to be higher than the concentrations of these antibiotics in modified Thayer-Martin medium. The criteria necessary for la...
متن کاملOtitis media caused by beta-lactamase-producing Branhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis.
A beta-lactamase-producing Branhamella catarrhalis was isolated in pure culture from the right middle ear aspiration of an otitis media in a 3-month-old girl. The patient responded well to cefamandole treatment.
متن کاملLack of immunoglobulin A1 protease production by Branhamella catarrhalis.
Clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis from the sputum of 20 patients with acute bronchopulmonary infection were examined for synthesis of immunoglobulin A1 protease by immunoelectrophoresis. Ten strains produced beta-lactamase, and 10 were beta-lactamase negative. None of the strains demonstrated immunoglobulin A1 protease activity despite the fact that three different culture media were...
متن کاملBranhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis--a lower respiratory tract pathogen?
Branhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis was identified as a probable respiratory tract pathogen in seven patients, four with pneumonia and three with bronchitis. Five of the B. catarrhalis isolates produced beta-lactamase. Production of beta-lactamase correlated with penicillin resistance by the standardized disk diffusion method and also with high minimal inhibitory concentrations of penicillin fo...
