Showing papers in "Anaerobe in 2005"

TL;DR: This minireview provides a perspective on recent data and the exciting scientific challenges ahead and indicates that humans enjoy health through a productive collaboration with their colonizing flora.

TL;DR: Fusobacterium necrophorum, a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming anaerobe, is a normal inhabitant of the alimentary tract of animals and humans and is also a human pathogen and the human strains appear to be different from the strains involved in animal infections.

TL;DR: In both rumens, retrieved methanogenic Archaea-related 16S rDNA sequences were at an unreasonable low level; in addition, none sequence was related to Ruminococcus albus, a classical rumen fibrolytic species.

TL;DR: The selected lactobacilli and oligosaccharides are good candidates for incorporation in a formula to prevent vaginal infections.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the growth of B. bifidum F-35 was promoted by the feruloyl oligosaccharides from wheat bran insoluble dietary fiber, and not suppressed by theFerulic acid moiety of them.

TL;DR: On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, strain DvO5(T) (DSM 16695(T), JCM 12613(T)) is proposed as the type strain of a new species, Desulfovibrio aerotolerans sp.

TL;DR: The most prominent needs to further understanding of clostridial hemorrhagic enteritis in neonatal ruminants are consistent experimental reproduction of the disease, elucidation of virulence attributes, and development and application of prevention and control strategies.

TL;DR: Of 36 P. acnes isolates tested, none was found to carry the erm(X) resistance gene and no correlation was noticed between different resistance genotypes of CL and EM resistant strains and pulsed-field types.

TL;DR: The results indicate that sanitary conditions in different production stages of species must be improved to reduce health hazards and suggest the need to provide legislation on the sanitary and hygienic quality of spices in Argentina.

TL;DR: There is an indication, but no biochemical proof that a natural (biogenic, microbial, biochemical) NET production of phosphine or DE NOVO PRODUCTION of phosphate has occurred, but the fermentation conditions which had been most favorable for microbial life were also mostavorable for a positive phosphine balance.

TL;DR: MLVA is an efficient tool for C. perfringens strain typing, and being PCR based makes it rapid, easy, and cost effective, and it can be employed in epidemiological, ecological, and evolutionary investigations of the organism.

TL;DR: A uniform distribution of most species and a high variety of clostridia in Costa Rican soils were observed, in agreement with the high biodiversity described for other living beings in this country.

TL;DR: The most plausible origin for nasopharyngeal anaerobes is the oral cavity and, conceivably, saliva is the most likely transmission vehicle; whether anaerobic bacteria colonize the nasophaya just because of ecological changes favoring their growth or whether they could play an active role in the pathogenesis of respiratory infections is not known.

TL;DR: Since its introduction in the mid-1980s, PCR has provided many molecular diagnostic tools, some of which are discussed within this review, including real-time PCR which has been successfully used to provide rapid, quantitative data on anaerobic species on clinical samples.

TL;DR: A fatal case of septicemia, massive intrav vascular hemolysis, shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation is reported and it seems likely that the C. hathewayi was responsible for the clinical picture and that the Campylobacter hominis was an incidental finding.

TL;DR: This is the first study of the role of ETBF in children's diarrhea in Vietnam and it is concluded that this pathogen is an important causative agent of diarrhea in children in Hanoi, Vietnam.

TL;DR: Oritavancin shows excellent potential for treatment of infections containing Gram-positive anaerobes such as these and is slightly more active than vancomycin against the strains tested.

TL;DR: Tinidazole, a 5-nitroimidazoles similar to metronidazelle, was studied against 40 Clostridium difficile, 10 Prevotella bivia and 11 Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates.

TL;DR: The fibrolytic activities of rumen fungi were studied in terms of dry matter loss, plant cell wall degradation and enzyme (cellulase and xylanase) activities, when grown in vitro on either untreated or sodium hydroxide treated stems of barley straw over a 12 day period.

TL;DR: Only the two subspecies of F. necrophorum were found to possess the leukotoxin locus and produce the toxin, which was found to be active against human neutrophils and the human periodontal pathogen, F. nucleatum does not produce detectable leukOToxin.

TL;DR: This paper shows that supernatants of B. fragilis, B. vulgatus and B. distasonis strains are able to stimulate the V. harveyi quorum sensing system 2, and demonstrates that the stimulation detected is due to the production of autoinducer molecules and not the growth of reporter strains after addition of supernatant.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Actinomyces species are frequent colonizers on failed implant surfaces, where A. odontolyticus was the far most prominent Actinomeces species.

TL;DR: It was found that in east region of Turkey, the prevalence of ETBF was higher in the childhood diarrhea, particularly in aged 1-5, and as the only enteropathogen, ETBF may play an important role in diarrheal diseases.

TL;DR: The protease in the crude extract should have application potential in term of improving utilization of fish meal and feather meal for monogastric animals and serine, aspartic acid and metallo-protease inhibitors could cause inhibition of proteolysis.

TL;DR: Management of uncomplicated M requires the administration of parenteral antimicrobial therapy and myringotomy with or without tympanostomy tube placement, and surgical intervention and drainage may be necessary.

TL;DR: HA of 13 P. melaninogenica strains proved to be considerably weaker than that of the major periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and seemed to be a protein, which can be separated from the cell and binds to lactose-, galactose-, and raffinose-containing carbohydrates on the erythrocytes.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that NC (>11%N) does undergo biotransformation in the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria Desulfovibrio desulfuricans 1388.

TL;DR: It is reported that two patients with clinically significant L. buccalis bacteremia which developed during the neutropenia secondary to chemotherapy should be considered in certain high-risk immunocompromised patients with mucositis and/or gingivitis.

TL;DR: Findings support the possible pathogenicity of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria in the PT associated with IM and an immune response against these organisms by patients with IM.

TL;DR: Animal models simulating human disease have played an important role in understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of infections caused by obligately anaerobic bacteria and have been instrumental in defining the molecular basis for the virulence and protection provided by the polysaccharide capsule of Bacteroides fragilis.
