Tyramine-producing streptococci in neonatal diarrhoea.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An outbreak of neonatal diarrhoea associated with large numbers of Streptococcus faecalis var. zymogenes is described.A follow-up survey showed that 23.3% of 347 healthy babies carried this organism without ill effect. The tyrosine decarboxylase activity of the streptococci from both sick and healthy babies was identically high. It is suggested that the tyramine-producing activity of these streptococci was not the primary cause of the diarrhoea.

The serological typing of group D streptococci associated with outbreaks of neonatal diarrhoea.
By the preparation of specific type sera 24 types of streptococci within group D are designated on the basis of agglutination tests. Subtypes associated with three of these types are indicated by reciprocal absorption. Precipitin tests with absorbed sera substantiate the division of types by agglutination. Of 353 strains of streptococci identified serologically as group D and further specified ...

Dental caries is the most common chronic disease which involve the civilized humankind and is designated as the “disease of the civilization”.

متن کاملStudies of the free faecal amines of infants with gastroenteritis and of healthy infants.
The free primary amines present in the faeces of 44 infants (1-18 months) with gastroenteritis have been examined by field desorption mass spectrometry of the lactone form of their fluorescamine derivatives without their prior separation. p-Tyramine, 2-phenylethylamine, the diamines, putrescine and cadaverine and several of their acyl derivatives were common constituents, but a number of other ...
