Comparison of oral and vaginal metronidazole for treatment of bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy: impact on fastidious bacteria [PDF]
Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common condition that is associated with preterm birth and acquisition of complex communities of vaginal bacteria that include several fastidious species. Treatment of BV in pregnancy has mixed effects on the risk

Analysis of Anaerobes and Some Other Fastidious Bacteria [PDF]
Anaerobes, like some other fastidious, slow-growing bacteria belonging to the HACEK group have special place among human pathogenic bacteria. They are important pathogens, however, owing to their special requirements to be isolated from clinical samples, such as strict anaerobic or CO2-rich environment for their long incubation time, makes their ...

High Prevalence of Fastidious Bacteria in 1520 Cases of Uveitis of Unknown Etiology
The etiologic evaluation of uveitis is frequently unsuccessful when noninvasive methods are used. We conducted a prospective study to evaluate systematic screening for pathogens of uveitis. All patients with uveitis referred to the participating tertiary ophthalmology departments from January 2001 to September 2007 underwent intraocular and serum ...

Efficient dilution-to-extinction isolation of novel virus–host model systems for fastidious heterotrophic bacteria [PDF]
Microbes and their associated viruses are key drivers of biogeochemical processes in marine and soil biomes. While viruses of phototrophic cyanobacteria are well-represented in model systems, challenges of isolating marine microbial heterotrophs and ...

Endocarditis Due to Rare and Fastidious Bacteria [PDF]
SUMMARY The etiologic diagnosis of infective endocarditis is easily made in the presence of continuous bacteremia with gram-positive cocci. However, the blood culture may contain a bacterium rarely associated with endocarditis, such as Lactobacillus spp., Klebsiella spp., or nontoxigenic Corynebacterium, Salmonella, Gemella ...

Detection of Selected Fastidious Bacteria [PDF]
The intent of this article is to describe the optimal methods for culture recovery of 7 fastidious bacteria: Legionella species, Brucella species, Francisella tularensis, Leptospira species, Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella species, and Bordetella species. These organisms share much in common beyond the fact that their genus names all end in the letter

Selected Case Studies on Fastidious Eukaryotic Microorganisms: Issues and Investigation Strategies
The concept of fastidious microorganisms currently found in scientific literature is mainly related to the difficulty of isolating/culturing/preserving bacteria. Eukaryotes are investigated much less in this respect, although they represent a fundamental
