Species distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of gram-negative aerobic bacteria in hospitalized cancer patients [PDF]
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2009 Background Nosocomial infections pose significant threats to hospitalized patients, especially the immunocompromised ones, such as cancer patients. Methods This study examined the microbial spectrum of gram-negative bacteria in various infection sites in

Poplar Lignin Decomposition by Gram-Negative Aerobic Bacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981 Eleven gram-negative aerobic bacteria ( Pseudomonadaceae and Neisseriaceae ) out of 122 soil isolates were selected for their ability to assimilate poplar dioxane lignin without a cosubstrate. Dioxane lignin and milled wood lignin degradation rates ranged between 20 and 40% of initial content

Evaluation of Cathra system for identifying gram negative aerobic bacteria. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1990 The Cathra system is a commercial multipoint inoculation method for the identification of aerobic Gram negative bacteria. The system uses a replicator technique in which 21 different agar media can be inoculated simultaneously with 36 organisms. Identifications are made by use of a special computer database.

In Vitro Activities of Membrane-Active Peptides against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Aerobic Bacteria [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1998 ABSTRACT Four peptides, cecropin P1, magainin II, indolicidin, and ranalexin, were evaluated against 202 clinical isolates of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic bacteria by a microbroth dilution method. The gram-negative isolates were more susceptible to cecropin P1.

HR 756, a New Cephalosporin Active Against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1979 The in vitro activity of HR 756, 7-[2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-(Z)-(methoximino)acetamido] cephalosporanic acid, was investigated against 659 isolates. HR 756 inhibited Neisseria and Haemophilus species at concentrations similar to those needed with ampicillin.

Antimicrobial breakpoints for Gram-negative aerobic bacteria based on pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic models with Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2008 This study describes a comprehensive programme designed to develop pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) breakpoints for numerous antimicrobial classes against key gram-negative aerobic bacteria.A 10,000 subject Monte Carlo simulation was constructed for 13 antimicrobials (21 dosing regimens).

A Revised Probability Matrix for the Identification of Gram-negative, Aerobic, Rod-shaped, Fermentative Bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology, 1986 The results of the identification of 933 strains of Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, fermentative bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Vibrionaceae) by a probabilistic method, in a computer, are given. The identification rate on the matrix was 89.2%.

Microbiology, 1986 Results of the identification of 621 strains of Gram-negative, aerobic, non-fermentative bacteria by a computer-based probabilistic method are given. Although many of the strains were atypical and have caused difficulty in identification in the medical diagnostic laboratory, the identification rate on this matrix was 91.5%.

Azthreonam (SQ 26,776), a synthetic monobactam specifically active against aerobic gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1982 Azthreonam (SQ 26,776) is a synthetic monocyclic beta-lactam antimicrobial agent belonging to the monobactam family (Sykes et al., Nature [London] 291:489-491, 1981), members of which are characterized by having the 2-oxoazetidine-1-sulfonic acid moiety.
