Serological Relationship between Clostridium Bifermentans and Clostridium Sordellii Based upon Soluble Antigens.
The problem of whether Clostridium sordellii should be assigned species status or be retained as a pathogenic variant of C. bifermentans is a perplexing one. Despite marked similarities in morphology, colony formation, and biochemical reactions (Clark and Hall, J. Bacteriol. 33:23, 1937; Stewart, J. Bacteriol. 35:13, 1938), Brooks and Epps (J. Gen. Microbiol. 21:144, 1958) were able to distingu...
متن کاملAppendages of Clostridium bifermentans spores.
Four distinct spore appendage types were detected in an electron microscope survey of 12 strains of Clostridium bifermentans. A smooth tubular appendage and a feather-like appendage are described in detail. In addition, hirsute tubular appendages and small pin-like appendages are depicted. Spores of four strains apparently lack appendages.
متن کاملNeutralization of Clostridium difficile toxin by Clostridium sordellii antitoxins.
Neutralization of Clostridium difficile toxin by Clostridium sordellii antitoxin was studied by cytotoxicity assay in tissue culture. The sources of toxin were stools from two patients with pseudomembranous colitis and a culture filtrate of C. difficile isolated from one of the patients. C. sordellii antitoxin was available either in monovalent form or as gas gangrene polyvalent antitoxin. The ...
متن کاملThe lecithinase of Clostridium bifermentans toxin.
Miles & Miles (1947, 1950) showed that culture filtrates of Clostridium bifermentarw, an organism previously shown to give the Nagler reaction (Hayward, 1943), decomposed lecithin enzymically with production of a water-soluble organic phosphoric compound. This action was inhibited not only by homologous antisera but also, though less specifically, by Clostridium welchii antitoxin. Miles & Miles...
متن کاملClostridium bifermentans bacteremia with metastatic osteomyelitis.
Osteomyelitis caused solely by an anaerobic organism is uncommon. We report a case of recurrent Clostridium bifermentans bacteremia resulting in metastatic osteomyelitis involving the sacrum, spine, and ribs. The emergence of resistance of this organism to imipenem and metronidazole is noteworthy because of the usual susceptibility of clostridial species to these antibiotics.
