Erysipelothrix

Antibacterial Spectrum. Hawley reported that various species and strains of the genera Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Neisseria, Bacillus, Clostridium, and Corynebacterium are inhibited by nisin (Hawley 1957A, B). Mattick and Hirsch (1947) added actinomycetes, pneumococci, mycobacteria, and Erysipelothrix to this list. The nisin concentration required for complete inhibition is organism specific and ranges from 0.25 to 500 units per milliliter. Inhibition of L. casei by antibiotics from S. lactis and S. cremoris was observed by Baribo and Foster (1951). Inhibition of Propionibacterium by nisin but not of coliform bacteria was reported by Galesloot (1957). [Pg.695]

Severe Lyme disease may be treated with 20 million units of intravenous penicillin G daily for 14 days.The causative agent erysipeloid, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, is sensitive to penicillin. Uncomplicated infection responds to a single injection of 1.2 million units of penicillin G benzathine. If endocarditis is present, penicillin G, 12-20 million units per day for 4-6 weeks is required. [Pg.736]

Parnas et al. (1966) have confirmed the value of infrared spectrophotometry for taxonomic determinations of bacteria. They compared biotypes, serotypes, chemo-types, and infrared-spectrophotometric types of BruceHae, Klebsiellae, Listeriae, Erysipelothrix, and Lepfosptrae. They found only oneinfrared type in various serotypes of Leptospirae, Brucellae, Listeriae, and Erysipelothrix. They observed only one serotype and one infrared type in Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis, and one chemotype characteristic for every genus in Brucellae, Listeriae, Erysipelothrix, and Klebsiellae. They... [Pg.423]

Erysipeloid is an acute infection due to Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiacy which colonises a wide variety of animals worldwide, including mammals, birds, fowl, fish and shellfish. It is a pathogen for many of them, especially for pigs. Human infection is contracted by direct contact, most commonly from carcasses this is the reason why the occupations mainly affected by the disease are slaughtermen, butchers, cooks, fishermen, farmers, veterinarians and housewives. Scratches or... [Pg.183]

Also known by the name of Baker-Rosenbach s erysipeloid, Erysipelothrix dermatitis is an acute, rarely chronic, infection induced by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiaey a non-sporigenous, non-mobile grampositive bacillus which usually has long filaments. It is a frequent infection in pigs, horses, sheep, turkeys and other animals and in salt and fresh water fish. That is... [Pg.244]

Purification of neuraminidase (mol. wt. 4.8 x 10 , pH optimum 6.2) from Erysipelothrix rhusiophatiae has been reported. The enzyme exhibited highest activity against oligosaccharide (9). The rate of cleavage of (10) and of the a-(2 -> 8)-linkage of (11) were 20% of this. Gangliosides and colominic... [Pg.421]

Vibrio comma neuraminidase was inactivated by Ca +-binding anions e.g. citrate, Hiedta, oxalate, phosphate, and tartrate), whereas the neuraminidases from Erysipelothrix insidiosa and Streptococcus viridans were not. Pyruvate and, to a lesser extent, citrate inactivated all the neuraminidases, but they did not interfere with the sites binding Ca + ions. [Pg.362]
