Blood Agar and Mycobacterium tuberculosis: the End of a Dogma
Drancourt, M., Carrieri, P., Raoult, D.
Incidental blood agar-based recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis led us to further investigate this routine medium for primary isolation and culture of M. tuberculosis. Fifteen respiratory tract...
Brouqui, P, Rousseau, M C, Stein, A, Drancourt, M, Raoult, D
Indwelling device infections are associated with considerable morbidity and extremely high cost. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most frequent gram-negative etiologic agent associated with infections...
Musso, D, Drancourt, M, Osscini, S, Raoult, D
We report the sequence of the quinolone resistance-determining region of the gyrA genes of either susceptible or low-level-resistant clinical isolates of Coxiella burnetii. The sequences of low-level...
Drancourt, M, Brouqui, P, Raoult, D
Afipia clevelandensis is a recently described gram-negative bacterium whose potential pathogenic role in human disease is under investigation. Only one strain, from the pretibial lesion of a patient...
Raoult, D, Drancourt, M, Vestris, G
There is no consistently reliable treatment for endocarditis resulting from chronic Coxiella burnetii infection, the causative agent of Q fever. Although certain antibiotics are recommended on the...
In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii to roxithromycin, pristinamycin, and the pristinamycin compounds, P1 and P2, were determined by a dye uptake assay and a...
Oral rifampin plus ofloxacin for treatment of Staphylococcus-infected orthopedic implants.
Drancourt, M, Stein, A, Argenson, J N, Zannier, A, Curvale, G, Raoult, D
We examined the effectiveness and safety of the combination of rifampin plus ofloxacin given orally for treating prosthetic orthopedic implants infected with staphylococci. The prospective cohort...
Roux, V, Drancourt, M, Raoult, D
The chromosome lengths of six spotted fever group Rickettsia species (Rickettsia rickettsii, R. conorii, R. rhipicephali, R. sibirica, R. australis, and R. akari) were estimated by pulsed-field gel...
Joblet, C, Roux, V, Drancourt, M, Gouvernet, J, Raoult, D
The bacterial genus Bartonella (Rochalimaea) includes emerging human pathogens with five recognized species. These are fastidious gram-negative bacteria, exhibiting few phenotypic characteristics and...
Bartonella (Rochalimaea) quintana infection in a seronegative hemodialyzed patient.
Drancourt, M, Moal, V, Brunet, P, Dussol, B, Berland, Y, Raoult, D
Bartonella quintana is a reemerging pathogen responsible for trench fever, endocarditis, bacteremia, and bacillary angiomatosis. We previously reported the first case of a patient with B....
Gordona terrae central nervous system infection in an immunocompetent patient.
Drancourt, M, Pelletier, J, Cherif, A A, Raoult, D
The bacterial genus Gordona includes seven species of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes which are cultured from environmental sources and rarely from clinical samples. They have been implicated...
Raoult, D, Bres, P, Drancourt, M, Vestris, G
In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia conorii, and Coxiella burnetii to the new fluoroquinolone sparfloxacin (AT-4140; RP 64206) were determined. Plaque and dye uptake assays...
Comparison of different antibiotic regimens for therapy of 32 cases of Q fever endocarditis.
Levy, P Y, Drancourt, M, Etienne, J, Auvergnat, J C, Beytout, J, Sainty, J M, ...
We studied 32 cases of Q fever endocarditis diagnosed in France between January 1985 and December 1989 to evaluate the efficacies of the different regimens of antibiotics used for treatment. Each...
Raoult, D, Torres, H, Drancourt, M
Coxiella burnetii is a strictly intracellular bacterium. Bacteriostatic effects have been described previously on a few isolates in embryonated eggs (A. J. Spicer, M. G. Peacock, and J. C. Williams,...
