Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis by Opportunistic Pathogens
Archives of Surgery, 1977The incidence of endocarditis produced by the so-called "opportunists" as a complication of prosthetic valve surgery is progressively increasing in frequency and gradually transforming the clinical picture habitually associated with this disease. We report six cases of endocarditis produced by opportunistic microorganisms (two cases by Candida, and the

Capnocytophaga: An opportunistic pathogen
Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 1985Summary Capnocytophaga spp. can be readily identified in the clinical laboratory when the proper media, incubation environment, and duration are used. Presumptive identification can be made when yellow-pigmented colonies of fusiform-shaped or filamentous gramnegative rods are isolated that grow only anaerobically or under increased CO2 and ...

Torulopsis pintolopesii-an opportunistic pathogen in guineapigs?
Laboratory Animals, 19802 young female guineapigs kept as pets died consecutively with signs of enteritis. Yeasts were isolated in large quantity from their small intestines, In the 2nd animal the yeast strain, isolated from the gut and other organs, was identified as Torulopsis pintolopesii.

Mimeae: Opportunistic Pathogens
JAMA, 1965Infections caused by bacteria of the tribe Mimeae were reviewed.Mima polymorphaorHerellea vaginicolawas isolated by culture from 56 living patients and 9 autopsy cases, with pure cultures of these organisms from 11 living patients. Mimeae were found to be opportunistic pathogens with a highly variable degree of virulence.

Biofilms and the Survival of Opportunistic Pathogens in Recycled Water
Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 1991Microorganisms are likely to develop an organic film on pipes, water reservoirs and filters used for waste water reclamation during extended missions in space. These biofilms can serve to protect and concentrate potentially pathogenic microorganisms.

An Environmental Opportunistic Pathogen: Cryptococcus
2022Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gatti are yeasts that can cause severe, life-threatening infections of the lungs and brain, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Cryptococci are opportunistic pathogens. Their natural habitat is the environment where they have evolved a series of mechanisms to resist radiation ...

Bacterial Opportunistic Pathogens of Fish
2016Bacterial opportunistic pathogens are defined as microorganisms causing disease in hosts experiencing atypical environmental stressors or having impaired immune function. In intensive aquacultural rearing, stress factors (such as hypoxia, abnormal pH, and high population density) generate an optimal setting for such pathogens to thrive.

Pathogenic and Opportunistic Free-living Amoebae
2014Small, free-living amebae belonging to the genera Naegleria, Acanthamoeba, and Balamuthia have been identified as agents of central nervous system (CNS) infections of humans and other animals. The concept that these small, free-living amebae may occur as human pathogens was proposed by Culbertson and colleagues, who isolated Acanthamoeba sp.

Adhesins in Opportunistic Fungal Pathogens
2014This chapter deals with cell surface proteins in two Candida species, C. albicans and C. glabrata, and in their nonpathogenic relative Saccharomyces cerevisiae, specifically focusing on the diversity and function of proteins implicated in adherence of the yeasts to each other or to other surfaces, including host cells.

Acanthamoeba spp.: "Opportunistic Pathogens"
Transactions of the American Microscopical Society, 1991Members of the genus Acanthamoeba are free-living amebae that are major predators of bacteria. They serve as important laboratory models for understanding the cellular biology and biochemistry of locomotion, phagocytosis, and cell differentiation. Some species of Acanthamoeba can be opportunistic human pathogens, causing amebic meningoencephalitis and ...
