Spontaneous Phagocytosis of Fusiform Bacilli and Influenza Bacilli

Influenza-like Bacilli Isolated from Cats

Six strains of Gram-negative non-motile bacilli from cats have been described. They do not grow on ordinary media. They do grow, however, on a medium to which an autoclave-labile substance alone has been added as an accessory growth factor. These bacilli are similar to Bacillus parainfluenzaaeisolated from man. One strain of a Gram-negative non-motile bacillus more exacting than Bacillus influe...

GRAM NEGATIVE BACILLI IN BURNS

In a period of nine months, 225 strains of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from burns were identified by a variety of tests in two burn centers in Tehran. The most common species were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Many strains of acinetobacter spp, providencia spp, proteus spp, ser...

Antifungal Activity of Soil Chitinolytic Bacilli

Abstract Background and Objective: Chitin, which is a linear polymer of N-acetyl glucosamine residues, has been the most abundant polymer in nature after cellulose. In recent decades, Chitinases have received increased attention because of their wide range of applications, especially in biological control against fungi. Material and Methods: the isolation of bacilli producing chitinolyti...

A Pterygium of Bacilli

Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacilli

A total of 434 clinical aerobic gram-negative bacillary isolates were tested against LY127935, a new 1-oxa cephalosporin, and compared with other cephalosporins, penicillins, and aminoglycosides by a broth microdilution technique. Cefotaxime (HR756), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, and LY127935 were more active, and showed lower minimun inhibitory concentrations (rantes, -O.12 to 2.0 ,ug/ml)...
