چکیده
We retrospectively analyzed epidemiologic information associated with 22 cultures of Neisseria elongata subsp. nitroreducens (formerly CDC group M-6) submitted to the Microbial Diseases Laboratory, California Department of Health Services, Berkeley, over a 16-year period. The most common illnesses noted with this bacterium were endocarditis, bacteremia, and osteomyelitis. Risk factors associated with N. elongata subsp. nitroreducens infection included dental manipulations and/or a previous history of endocarditis, valve damage, or rheumatic heart disease.

Native Mitral Valve Endocarditis Caused by Neisseria elongata subsp. nitroreducens in a Patient with Marfan Syndrome: First Case in Italy and Review of the Literature
Neisseria elongata (NE) is an aerobic Gram-negative organism that constitutes part of the commensal human normal oropharyngeal flora. Although previously considered not to be pathogenic, it has been recognized as an occasional cause of significant infections in humans. We report here the first case in Italy of infective endocarditis of a native prolapsing mitral valve in a patient with Marfan s...

Pectolinarin, a flavone heteroside, was isolated from Distictella elongata (Vahl) Urb. leaves ethanol extract, along with a mixture of ursolic, pomolic and oleanolic acids, besides β-sitosterol. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral analysis (1H and 13C NMR, 1D and 2D) and they were compared with literature. This is the first report on the occurrence of this flavonoid in a ...
