the Amterican Journal of Surgery (102, 354:1961). To my mind, the Mayo Clinic experience with 1,181 cases, with the competent observers serving as authors, has done no less than provide a very workable and practical guide to cancer types and to the methods of treatment for the various types (by histological classification as well as clinical staging). It is fortunate that this paper follows a p...

A miniaturised method for the identification of anaerobic bacteria is described which employs microtitre fermentation tests, a spot indole test and a nitrate reduction disc test. The results obtained are directly comparable with those produced by a standard conventional method in use at present.

The draft genomes of the alkaliphilic, anaerobic bacteria, Anaerobacillus arseniciselenatis, A. alkalidiazotrophicus, and A. alkalilacustris, and a novel closely related isolate of the Anaerobacillus genus are reported here. These assembled genomes will help identify, at the molecular level, the phenotypic differences between the species of this poorly characterized genus.

Depletion of the periciliary liquid in "Cystic Fibrosis" airway disease results in reduced mucociliary transport, persistent mucus hypersecretion and consequently increased height of the luminal mucus layer, so hypoxic gradients in the mucus plugs are developed. Because of anaerobic lung zones, it is highly probable that anaerobic bacteria not detected by routine bacteriologic culture methods a...

this study investigated the microbial community in a full scale anaerobic baffled reactor and sequencing batch reactor system for oil-produced water treatment in summer and winter. the community structures of fungi and bacteria were analyzed through polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and illumina high-throughput sequencing, respectively. chemical oxygen demand eff...

Objective: To observe synergistic antibacterial effect of Er yanning in vitro. Methods: The Er Yanning NO1 (the main component of rheum officinale), No2 (main component of Scutellaria baicalensis, phellodendron bark) and Er yanning NO1-NO2 compatibility antibacterial activity were detected against anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria. Results: No 1 anaerobic obviously, No 2 on aerobic bacter...

Aims: bacteria are one of the main factors involved in the process of tooth decay.  They play an important role in the onset and progression of tooth decay and are the main cause of pulp and periapical diseases. Their presence in the crown pulp and dental canal causes symptoms in the teeth; therefore, the aim of this study was to molecular study of anaerobic bacteria in primary and necrotic tee...

The amount, composition, and localization of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in the normal skin before and after disinfection were the subject of a volunteer study. The superficial bacterial flora were sampled by velvet pad imprints, and the deep flora were determined from whole skin biopsies. Only one anaerobic species, Propionebacterium acnes, was encountered even though other and more strict ...

A retrospective review of the microbiological and clinical data of 17 specimens obtained from axillary hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) over a period of 6 years was undertaken to study the aerobic and anaerobic microbiology of this condition. A total of 42 bacterial isolates (2.5 per specimen) were obtained, 12 aerobic or facultative (0.7 per specimen) and 30 anaerobic or micro-aerophilic (1.8 per...

With aspirated specimens from clinical infections, we evaluated the recovery of anaerobic, aerobic, and facultative bacteria in three widely used transport systems: (i) aspirated fluid in a gassed-out tube (FGT), (ii) swab in modified Cary and Blair transport medium (SCB), and (iii) swab in a gassed-out tube (SGT). Transport tubes were held at 25 degrees C and semiquantitatively sampled at 0, 2...
