Actinobacillus minor sp. nov., Actinobacillus porcinus sp. nov., and Actinobacillus indolicus sp. nov., three new V factor-dependent species from the respiratory tract of pigs.
The results of DNA-DNA relatedness experiments and comparisons of sequences of genes coding for 16S rRNA were used to determine the genetic relationships of selected V factor-dependent species belonging to the family Pasteurellaceae and obtained from the porcine respiratory tract. These results showed that the Minor group and taxa C, D plus E, and F are distinct phylogenetic groups that are sep...
متن کاملAnalysis of factors influencing prognosis in foals with septic arthritis
The purpose of this paper was to identify factors that would positively or negatively affect the short-term survival rate of foals with septic arthritis. Medical records of 81 foals (≤seven months of age) with a clinical diagnosis of septic arthritis, referred to the equine hospital at Cornell University Hospital for Animals, between 1994 and 2003 were reviewed. Signalment, age at presentation,...
متن کاملAge-related differences in symptoms, diagnosis and prognosis of bacteremia
BACKGROUND Elderly patients are at particular risk for bacteremia and sepsis. Atypical presentation may complicate the diagnosis. We studied patients with bacteremia, in order to assess possible age-related effects on the clinical presentation and course of severe infections. METHODS We reviewed the records of 680 patients hospitalized between 1994 and 2004. All patients were diagnosed with b...
متن کاملClinical significance and taxonomy of Actinobacillus hominis.
Clinical findings in 36 immunosuppressed patients with lower respiratory tract infection or bacteremia with Actinobacillus hominis are described. Animal contact was only recorded for three patients; nine patients died despite appropriate antimicrobial treatment. Although infections with this microorganism seem to be rare, the fact that 37 of 46 strains characterized in this study have been foun...
متن کاملBartonella sp. bacteremia in patients with neurological and neurocognitive dysfunction.
We detected infection with a Bartonella species (B. henselae or B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii) in blood samples from six immunocompetent patients who presented with a chronic neurological or neurocognitive syndrome including seizures, ataxia, memory loss, and/or tremors. Each of these patients had substantial animal contact or recent arthropod exposure as a potential risk factor for Bartonella ...
