Extracellular hemolysins of aerobic sporogenic bacilli.

چکیده
Forty-five strains, representing 18 species of the genus Bacillus, were surveyed for production of hemolysin against rabbit erythrocytes. Broth cultures of B. cereus, B. alvei, and B. laterosporus contained lysins that closely resembled streptolysin O. B. subtilis and a single strain of B. cereus may produce lysins having characteristics different from those of streptolysin O.

I. The existence of differences and similarities in the sur- 4. face features not only of different organisms or groups but also within given species has been demonstrated by a variety of techniques. 2. The different reactions of various organisms to the Gram stain might well be taken as one piece of evidence, the use of the electron microscop and associated preparative techniques (includi...
متن کاملIn-vitro Susceptibility to Aztreonam
Aztreonam is a new monobactam antibiotic which is highly active against aerobic Gram negative bacilli. The purpose of this study is to establish the in-vitro activity of aztreonam against recent clinical isolates of aerobic Gram negative bacilli obtained from patients at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of the antibiotic against the isolates were determined u...
متن کاملA critical role for hemolysins and bacterial lipoproteins in Staphylococcus aureus-induced activation of the Nlrp3 inflammasome.
The mechanism by which bacterial pathogens activate caspase-1 via Nlrp3 remains poorly understood. In this study, we show that the ability of Staphylococcus aureus, a leading cause of infection in humans, to activate caspase-1 and induce IL-1beta secretion resides in culture supernatants of growing bacteria. Caspase-1 activation induced by S. aureus required alpha-, beta-, and gamma-hemolysins ...
متن کاملIsolations of aerobic sporing bacilli from the tips of indwelling intravascular catheters.
Following previous reports of the isolation of aerobic sporing bacilli from intravenous catheters and infusion sets, it was decided to analyse a series of catheter tip cultures to ascertain the significance of these isolations. Those catheters from which aerobic sporing bacilli were isolated behaved statistically differently from other catheters from which organisms were isolated, but were stat...
متن کاملPattern of antibiotic resistance in nosocomial infections with Gram-negative bacilli in ICU patients (Tehran, Iran) during the years 2012-2014
Background and Objective: Owing to the new patterns of antibiotic resistance, selection of the appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of nosocomial infections, especially gram-negative bacilli, has become a big challenge. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of nosocomial infections with Gram-negative bacilli in Iran during the years 2012-2014. Material...
