To the best of our knowledge, no study has compared gram-negative bacillary hematogenous pyogenic spondylodiscitis (GNB-HPS) with gram-positive coccal hematogenous pyogenic spondylodiscitis (GPC-HPS) regarding their clinical characteristics and outcomes. From January 2003 to January 2013, 54 patients ...
Learn what gram negative bacteria are and understand the meaning of gram negative. See gram negative bacteria examples and compare them to gram...
The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria also contains a lipopolysaccharide endotoxin which is toxic to animals. Although bacteria have no intracellular organelles to carry out respiration, they can carry out this function using an electron transport system in the plasma membrane that couples ...
Gram negative bacteria are generally resistant to vancomycin. So far, only a few resistant strains have been found in gram positive bacteria isolated from clinical isolates in china. The nationwide bacterial resistance surveillance network of Ministry of health showed that the resistance rate of ...
Fusobacterium ulcerans is a newly described obligately anaerobic Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod [1] that has been isolated from tropical ulcers. Two morphotypes were described: one resemblingFusobacterium varium and the other Fusobacterium mortiferum[1]. Because of the weak or negative fermentation...
The cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are classified as Gram-negative bacteria (Stanier et al., 1976). Their cell envelope is composed of the outer membrane and plasma (or cytoplasmic) membrane separated by a peptidoglycan layer. In addition, they have intracellular photosynthetic membranes, i.e....
A more quantitative description of the LB plots can be obtained by calculating the third (e3) and the first (e1) order Chebyshev polynomial coefficients using MITlaos software. The third order coefficient of Chebyshev polynomial aids in a physical interpretation, a positive or negative value denotes...
Strain K-20, a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and strictly aerobic rod, which produces a pale pink pigment, was isolated from biofilm in a cooling tower in Tokyo, Japan. The taxonomic feature of the strain was studied using phenotypic tests and phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic...
Although the spectrum of responsible microorganisms was very similar, the incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative bacilli was increased in COPD, particularly among patients with advanced situation and/or oral corticosteroid treatment. Community-acquired pneumonia in patients with COPD was...
