Pericarditis due to Bacteroides melaninogenicus secondary to a teratoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past 50 years the aetiology of purulent pericarditis has changed. Most cases used to be caused by Gram positive bacteria, but now there is a higher incidence of cases due to Gram negative bacteria and fungi.' Anaerobes are rarely found.' In the following case Bacteroides melaninogenicus, an anaerobic Gram negative bacillus, caused a purulent pericarditis secondary to a perforating teratoma.

Rapid detection and identification of Bacteroides fragilis and Bacteroides melaninogenicus by immunofluorescence.
Bacteroides fragilis group and Bacteroides melaninogenicus group fluorescent-antibody kits were evaluated with 188 clinical specimens and 116 fresh aerobic and anaerobic bacterial isolates. Fluorescent-antibody and culture results corresponded in 88% of clinical specimens of the B. fragilis group and 94% of clinical specimens of the B. melaninogenicus group. There was greater than or equal to 9...
متن کاملBacteriocin-like substance (melaninocin) from oral Bacteroides melaninogenicus.
A bacteriocin-like substance, designated melaninocin, was extracted from a strain of Bacteroides melaninogenicus by ultrasonic treatment and purified. Melaninocin was heat labile and was destroyed by digestion by several proteolytic enzymes. Among the oral indigenous microorganisms, Bacteroides, Actinomyces, and streptococci were found to be sensitive to melaninocin.
متن کاملPrevotella, a new genus to include Bacteroides melaninogenicus and related species formerly classified in the genus Bacteroides.
It was recently proposed that the genus Bacteroides should be restricted to Bacteroides fragilis (the type species) and closely related organisms (viz., B. caccae, B. distasonis, B. eggerthii, B. merdae, B. ovatus, B. stercoris, B. thetaiotaomicron, B. uniformis, and B. vulgatus). By contrast, the moderately saccharolytic, predominantly oral Bacteroides species, which include B. melaninogenicus...
متن کاملActivities of Nigerian chewing stick extracts against Bacteroides gingivalis and Bacteroides melaninogenicus.
The in vitro activities of extracts of Nigerian chewing sticks against Bacteroides gingivalis and B. melaninogenicus are presented. The greatest inhibitory action was produced by Serindeia werneckei, whereas Fagara zanthoxyloides produced no appreciable inhibitory effect. A generally good correlation was found between the killing curves and MICs. Only extracts of Anogeissus leiocarpus showed ac...
