Studies of the Beta Hemolytic Streptococcus (Smith and Brown)

Studies on Hemolytic Streptococci: II. Streptococcus pyogenes.

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Studies on the Hemolytic Streptococcus of Human Origin

1. Four common variants of the hemolytic streptococcus of human origin have been described. These have been designated the F, M, attenuated M, and C variants. 2. The F and M variants only have been isolated from the blood stream in streptococcal infections. Only the M, however, has any primary virulence for the mouse. 3. Both these variants resist phagocytosis in human blood under suitable cond...

Draft Genome Sequence of Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus iniae KCTC 11634

Streptococcus iniae is a beta-hemolytic, Gram-positive coccus, which affects a broad range of freshwater and marine fish species, causing substantial economic losses in the aquaculture industry worldwide. Thus, it is very important to derive a complete genome sequence of the bacterium to aid in the development of vaccines and methods for preventing fish streptococcosis and zoonotic infections i...

Beta-hemolytic streptococcus group A endocarditis: a rare clinical presentation.

A case report of an elderly gentleman is reported herein, who presented with one week history of fever, drowsiness and left lower limb weakness. Examination revealed left lower limb weakness with power of grade 3/5. His workup showed evidence of infection and multiple cerebral infarcts on the right side. Blood culture grew Streptococcus pyogens. Echocardiogram showed two vegetations on the aort...
