Empyema caused by Mycoplasma salivarium.

چکیده
Mycoplasma salivarium infections outside the oral cavity are rare. We describe a 49-year-old man with laryngeal cancer and right pleural space infection with M. salivarium. To our knowledge, this is the first report of empyema due to Mycoplasma salivarium.

In situ immunohistochemical detection of intracellular Mycoplasma salivarium in the epithelial cells of oral leukoplakia
BACKGROUND Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms; Mycoplasma salivarium and Mycoplasma orale are the most common species isolated from the oropharynx. Oral leukoplakia is the most prevalent potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa; its etiology has not been defined. Our previous study with DNA-binding fluorescent dye suggested the presence of mycoplasmas in the epithelial ...
متن کاملDetection of Mycoplasma salivarium and Mycoplasma fermentans in synovial fluids of temporomandibular joints of patients with disorders in the joints.
Thirty-six synovial fluid samples of temporomandibular joints were obtained from 33 patients with pain and anterior disk displacement (closed lock) in the joints. DNAs were prepared from the samples and amplified by a PCR-based assay specific for Mycoplasma salivarium or Mycoplasma fermentans. Of the 36 samples, five (14%), three (8%), and 19 (53%) were positive for M. salivarium, M. fermentans...
متن کاملUltrastructural Changes during the Life Cycle of Mycoplasma salivarium in Oral Biopsies from Patients with Oral Leukoplakia
Bacteria in genus Mycoplasma spp. are the smallest and simplest form of freely replicating bacteria, with 16 species known to infect humans. In the mouth, M. salivarium is the most frequently identified species. Mycoplasma spp. are parasites with small genomes. Although most of the Mycoplasma spp. that infect humans remain attached to the host cell surface throughout their life cycle, we have p...
متن کاملEffects of manganese on growth of Mycoplasma salivarium and Mycoplasma orale.
The growth of Mycoplasma salivarium ATCC 23064 and Mycoplasma orale ATCC 15539 was inhibited by MnCl2. The growth-inhibitory effect was much more remarkable on M. orale than M. salivarium and was much more remarkable in medium supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) horse serum (HS) than 20% (vol/vol) HS. It was suggested that isolates of Mycoplasma from the oral cavity could be roughly identified as e...
متن کاملHistamine release from human leukocytes when stimulated by Mycoplasma salivarium.
Incubated mixtures of Mycoplasma salivarium and nonsensitized mixed leukocytes released histamine. Spectrophotofluorometric detection of histamine occurred at physiological temperature and pH independent of complement and specific antiserum.
