A case of thoracic actinobacillus infection

Respiratory Medicine, 1992
A 50 year-old-man was referred by his family practitioner with a 6-month history of productive cough, a tender lump on the right chest that had been present for 3 weeks, and weight loss of 13 kg over 8 months. He had smoked 20 cigarettes daily for many years and admitted to drinking 8 units of alcohol daily. He kept no pets.

Inducible bacteriophages of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans

Current Microbiology, 1995
Doses of 0.1 to 1.0 micrograms/ml of mitomycin C induced cell lysis of six of eight strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans tested. Infectious phages were induced from ATCC strains 43717, 29524, 33384, and 43719; non-plaque-forming, possibly defective phages were induced from ATCC strains 29522 and 29523.

Endocarditis Caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans

Southern Medical Journal, 1979
A case of endocarditis caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is described and 18 cases are reviewed. Clinical features of endocarditis caused by A actinomycetemcomitans and antibiotic susceptibility are reviewed. Because of the relative resistance of A actinomycetemcomitans to penicillin and ampicillin, high doses of either penicillin or ...

Prevalence of “Actinobacillus porcitonsillarum” in porcine tonsils and development of a diagnosis duplex PCR differentiating between “Actinobacillus porcitonsillarum” and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

Veterinary Microbiology, 2007
"Actinobacillus porcitonsillarum" is a newly suggested commensal species colonizing porcine tonsils. In the diagnostic laboratory the sole difference to the porcine lung pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a negative mannitol reaction. In order to substantiate and improve this important differentiation a PCR test was developed using the ...

Endocarditis due to Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans

Journal of Infection, 1985
A case of infective endocarditis in a 38-year-old Saudi male caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is reported. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of benzyl penicillin and gentamicin. Previously reported cases are reviewed.

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans fimbriae

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1988
Freshly isolated Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans strains were found to possess fimbriae. These appendages appeared to be irreversibly lost after 30 to 40 subcultures in the laboratory. The fimbriated strains were associated with a specific type of colonial morphology designated SP (Star Positive); the non‐fimbriated variant colony was designated ...

Endocarditis caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1984
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a gram-negative coccobacillus which is a very rare cause of bacterial endocarditis. Preexisting cardiac lesions are a main contributing factor, and antibiotic prophylaxis has long been felt necessary before dental or other manipulation to prevent endocarditis.

The Genus Actinobacillus

1992
Organisms of the genus Actinobacillus were first described by Lignieres and Spitz (1902) in actinomycotic lesions in cattle in Argentina. The authors referred to this organism as “l’actinobacille” based on its morphology and its association with the pathological lesion. In 1910, Brumpt proposed the name of Actinobacillus lignieresii.
