ing which time the surgeon suspended surgical procedures. Recommendations were made regarding infection prevention practices; these were undertaken by the surgeon. Although soft tissue infection following sclerotherapy may be underreported, large case series have not noted this complication in the past (2,3); this fi nding suggests that any soft tissue infection following sclerotherapy should b...

متن کاملSerotyping and evaluation of the virulence in mice of Streptococcus suis strains isolated from diseased pigs.
A total of 110 strains of Streptococcus suis, isolated from diseased pigs in Brazil were serotyped and analyzed for virulence. Serotyping of the strains resulted in the following classification: 42 strains of serotype 2 (38.2%), 10 strains of serotype 14 (9.1%), seven strains of serotype 9 (6.4%), three strains each of serotype 7 and 11 (2.7%), two strains each of serotype 1 and 8 (1.8%) and on...
متن کاملVirulence of Streptococcus suis type 2 strains in newborn germfree pigs depends on phenotype.
To determine whether the virulence of Streptococcus suis type 2 is associated with the phenotype of the strain, we infected newborn germfree pigs with 10 strains of S. suis type 2 categorized by three phenotypes. In an earlier study, the phenotypes were distinguished by the presence or absence of the muramidase-released protein (MRP) and an extracellular factor (EF) and were designated MRP+ EF+...
