Survival of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis frozen in skim milk- tryptone-glucose-glycerol medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In STGG (skim milk, tryptone, glucose, glycerol) medium at -80 degrees C, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis isolates survived for at least 3 years, and the same species have survived in nasopharyngeal swabs for at least 1.5 years. At -20 degrees C, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis survived for 1.5 years, but H. influenzae survived for only 2 months.

In vitro activity of ABT-773, a new ketolide, against recent clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
The in vitro activity of ABT-773 was evaluated against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis isolates. ABT-773 was the most active antimicrobial tested against S. pneumoniae. ABT-773 and azithromycin were equivalent in activity against H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis and more active than either clarithromycin or erythromycin.
متن کاملMoraxella catarrhalis outer membrane vesicles carry β-lactamase and promote survival of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae by inactivating amoxicillin.
Moraxella catarrhalis is a common pathogen found in children with upper respiratory tract infections and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during exacerbations. The bacterial species is often isolated together with Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are released by M. catarrhalis and contain phospholipids, adhesins, and immun...

Abstract: Aims and scope: Otitis media (OM) is a common disease among children. Various factors, including bacteria and viruses are the cause of OM. The most common bacterial pathogens that can cause OM are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes. Recently, Alloiococcus otitidis is known as one of the causes of OM. For some reasons ...
متن کاملComparison between nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal aspirates for, and effect of time in transit on, isolation of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
We assessed the impact of the use of nasal swabs or nasopharyngeal aspirates and the time from specimen collection to storage at -70 degrees C on bacterial isolation. Haemophilus influenzae was isolated significantly less often from swabs than from nasopharyngeal aspirates. Samples in transit for >3 days were half as likely to grow Streptococcus pneumoniae and H. influenzae as those in transit ...
متن کاملQuantitative detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis in lower respiratory tract samples by real-time PCR.
The limitation of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis has been a distinguishing colonization from infection. We assess here the usefulness of real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) performed on lower respiratory tract samples to overcome this problem. Consecu...
