Disease relevance of Bacteriology

• Streptococcus pneumoniae (58 of 160, 36.3%), methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (34 of 160, 21.3%), and Haemophilus influenzae (33 of 160, 20.6%) were the most common typical causative pathogens isolated in both groups in the bacteriology intent-to-treat population [1].
• Historical perspectives and current advancements in the bacteriology and medical therapy of struvite urinary stone disease [2].
• The quantitative bacteriology of 13 chronic leg ulcers was sequentially assessed by both swab and biopsy culture techniques, and the effect of either a 10% benzoyl peroxide lotion or placebo lotion was evaluated [3].
• The bacteriology represented a polyculture of gram-positive, gram-negative, as well as anaerobic bacteria, and initial medical treatment by third-generation cephalosporin and metronidazole or clindamycin was successful and is recommended [4].
• The bacteriology of the first group was made up of gram-positive and gram-negative germs predominantly S. aureus and E. coli, all the isolated species appeared to be sensitive to fosfomycin [5].

High impact information on Bacteriology

• Susceptibility to the administration of gentamicin, tobramycin and amikacin was determined for all isolates of aerobic and facultative gram-negative bacilli submitted for testing to the clinical bacteriology laboratory of the Massachusetts General Hospital between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 1976 [6].
• Quantitative bacteriology, differential cell counts, and ELISA for SP-A and SP-D were assessed [7].
• It is anticipated that the polymerase chain reaction will also facilitate advances in other fields, in particular preimplantation diagnosis, virology, bacteriology, and cancer therapy [8].
• Quantitative bacteriology of blood and tissue homogenates revealed that P. aeruginosa PAO could multiply in the skin and could also be cultured from the blood, livers, and spleens of infected mice [9].
• Comparative bacteriology of juvenile periodontitis [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Bacteriology

• Three lincomycin-resistant S. chromogenes strains were found to carry the linA gene.It was concluded that S. chromogenes can be identified reliably in routine mastitis bacteriology, and that the only resistance of importance is against penicillinase-susceptible penicillins [11].
• Fifty participants in the Swiss External Quality Control Program in Bacteriology/Mycology received a diagnostic sample containing Mycobacterium fortuitum [12].
• Based on the bacteriology, amoxicillin or ampicillin are the currently preferred drugs for initial treatment of otitis media [13].
• Tissue penetration of erythromycin in Waldeyer's ring and bacteriology of secretory otitis media [14].
• In the beginning, silver sulfadiazinate reduced quantitative sepsis, but this benefit decreased after six years; the same evolution was demonstrated for positive blood bacteriology; severe septicaemia showed a parallel pattern [15].

Biological context of Bacteriology

• According to the current edition of the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology [11] the tyrosine decarboxylation test allows the differentiation of enterococci [16].
• FK blood levels, maltose absorption test, histology, and bacteriology were performed at different postoperative days [17].
• Between 1946 and 1960, a new phenomenon emerged in the field of bacteriology. "Bacterial sex," as it was called, revolutionized the study of genetics, largely by making available a whole new class of cheap, fast-growing, and easily manipulated organisms [18].
• In 31 (76%) of the 41 episodes, the causative organisms were identified directly by specimen bacteriology or blood cultures (BCs) or indirectly by polymerase chain reaction or serology [19].
• This program consists of weekly visits from 16 weeks' gestation and involves alternating transvaginal ultrasound assessment of cervical morphometry with cervico-vaginal bacteriology and fetal fibronectin swabs [20].

Anatomical context of Bacteriology

• Over a 7-year period, lymph node biopsy specimens or cytopunctures from 70 patients were systematically tested by PCR for the presence of B. henselae DNA (htrA gene) in the Bacteriology Laboratory of the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg [21].
• It is concluded that CVNG medum is a useful adjunct to sputum bacteriology, especially in combination with digestion of the sputum samples by Cleland's reagent [22].
• OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to describe the bacteriology of middle ear effusions in children who have received the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (Prevnar) compared with unvaccinated children [23].
• Pigment vs. cholesterol microlithiasis: comparison of clinical features, bacteriology, stone and gallbladder composition [24].
• Catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Part I: Epidemiology, pathogenesis and bacteriology [25].

Associations of Bacteriology with chemical compounds

• This is an account of the life and work of Robert Koch (1843-1910), Nobel Laureate in Medicine and a founder of the science of bacteriology [26].
• The Special Bacteriology Section of the Center for Disease Control has received 38 cultures of a halophilic bacterium which apparently unnamed [27].
• Faecal bacteriology was assessed in 12 patients with a pouch before and after metronidazole therapy [28].
• The List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature includes, alphabetically and chronologically, the official names of bacteria as published or validated in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology [29].
• Contrary to the indications in Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, butyrate, not caproate, was the main end product of glucose metabolism [30].

Gene context of Bacteriology

• The effect of oral clarithromycin on health status and sputum bacteriology in stable COPD [31].
• Quantitative bacteriology showed that IFN-gamma-/- and B cell-/- mice consistently harbored up to one log(10) more bacteria in their lungs, spleens and livers than WT mice at day 5 post aerosol exposure [32].
• A knowledge of the urinary CEA level, therefore, would seem to contribute little to the diagnosis of patients presenting with haematuria and all patients must still be investigated by the conventional techniques of urinary bacteriology, cytology, intravenous pyelography and cystourethroscopy [33].
• OBJECTIVE: To assess the bacteriology and beta-lactamase enzyme activity in aspirates of 10 acutely and 13 chronically inflamed maxillary sinuses [34].
• The isolates analyzed using bacteriology were divided into three groups: MRSA, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and non-SA [35].
