Susceptibility of zygomycetes to amphotericin B, miconazole, and ketoconazole.
Eng, R H, Person, A, Mangura, C, Chmel, H, Corrado, M
Susceptibility to amphotericin B, miconazole, and ketoconazole was determined for 25 clinical isolates of zygomycetes in yeast nitrogen base broth and human serum. In yeast nitrogen base broth, 7 of...
Serratia odorifera biogroup 1 causing an invasive human infection.
Serratia odorifera biogroup 1 was isolated from the blood and urine of an alcoholic male with cirrhosis and signs of septic shock. The organism is rarely reported to occur in clinical specimens. This...
D-lactic acid measurements in the diagnosis of bacterial infections.
Smith, S M, Eng, R H, Campos, J M, Chmel, H
Body fluids suspected of bacterial infection were cultured and examined for the presence of D-lactic acid, a specific bacterial metabolite. We examined 206 patients and 264 specimens. D-Lactic acid...
Kaplan, M H, Chmel, H, Hsieh, H C, Stephens, A, Brinsko, V
Clustered epidemics of pustulosis due to Staphylococcus aureus occurred in two geographically distant newborn nurseries. In nurseries A and B an attack rate of pustulosis of 0.8 and 2.0 cases per 100...
I report a case of a tolerant L-form Streptococcus sanguis infection involving an artificial vascular access site that was probably acquired from a nonhuman source; this is the first report of such...
Bordetella bronchiseptica peritonitis associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Byrd, L H, Anama, L, Gutkin, M, Chmel, H
Bordetella bronchiseptica has rarely been reported as an opportunistic pathogen in humans. This is the first documented report of peritonitis due to B. bronchiseptica. The organism was seen on a Gram...
Vibrio alginolyticus infections in humans.
Schmidt, U, Chmel, H, Cobbs, C
Two clinical isolates of Vibrio alginolyticus from New Jersey are reported, one from a mixed stump infection and the other grown in pure culture from the conjunctival discharge of a man with...
Clinical and laboratory characteristics of Achromobacter xylosoxidans infection.
Igra-Siegman, Y, Chmel, H, Cobbs, C
Achromobacter xylosoxidans was isolated from six patients. The organism causes opportunistic infections in patients who are compromised. A. xylosoxidans is a catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile,...
Ellsworth, J H, Reiss, E, Bradley, R L, Chmel, H, Armstrong, D
Yeast-form Candida albicans cells were disrupted for 1.5 min in a Braun homogenizer and centrifuged at 100,000 X g. The supernatant was concentrated by ammonium sulfate precipitation and then...
Precipitating antibodies in mycoplasma infection.
Menonna, J, Chmel, H, Menegus, M, Dowling, P, Cook, S
The effectiveness of counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) for detecting human precipitating antibodies to mcyoplasma antigen was compared with the conventional complement fixation (CF) method in a...
A patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma developed meningitis due to an aberrant form of Pseudomonas aeruginosa observed on Gram stain. The organism was grown on primary isolation media without needing...
