Journal ArticleDOI
Immune response to Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia and other anaerobes in children with acute tonsillitis.
Itzhak Brook,P.A. Foote,J Slots +2 more
TL;DR: The increase in the number of several aerobic and anaerobic bacteria during acute tonsillitis and the increase in antibody levels to F. nucleatum and P. intermedia, known oral pathogens, may suggest a possible pathogenic role for these organisms in acute non-GABHS and GABHS tonsillopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune response to Fusobacterium nucleatum and Prevotella intermedia in patients with infectious mononucleosis.
Itzhak Brook,F. De Leyva +1 more
TL;DR: The elevated antibody levels to F. nucleatum and Pr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects on the nasopharyngeal flora of children following antimicrobial therapy of acute otitis media with cefdinir or amoxycillin-clavulanate.
Itzhak Brook,Alan E. Gober +1 more
TL;DR: This study illustrates the potential beneficial effect of using a narrow-spectrum antimicrobial that selectively spares the interfering organisms while eliminating pathogens in children with acute otitis media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current issues in the management of acute bacterial sinusitis in children
TL;DR: Treatment of ABS in children is complicated by a number of emerging changes in pathogen resistance patterns, including beta-lactamase-negative ampicillin resistance (BLNAR) and multi-drug resistance, bacterial interference, and geographic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of Potential Pathogens and Interfering Bacteria in the Nasopharynx of Otitis Media–Prone Children and Their Smoking and Nonsmoking Parents
Itzhak Brook,Alan E. Gober +1 more
TL;DR: The posterior nasopharynx flora of smoking parents contained more potential pathogens similar to the ones recovered from OMP children and fewer interfering organisms than nonsmoking parents.
