What's the difference between spirochaete and spirochete?
Spirochaete
Definition:
(n.) A genus of Spirobacteria similar to Spirillum, but distinguished by its motility. One species, the Spirochaete Obermeyeri, is supposed to be the cause of relapsing fever.
Example Sentences:
(1) A new genus of spirochaetes, Hollandina, is also described.
(2) The numbers of spirochaetes, other motile microorganisms, non-motile filaments, rods or cocci and of granulocytes, monocytes and epithelial cells were determined.
(3) Indeed, following a bite with local infection, there occurs a fairly rapid dissemination of the spirochaetes.
(4) The probe was evaluated using DNA from 13 isolates of T hyodysenteriae and 13 isolates of non-T hyodysenteriae spirochaetes recovered from pigs.
(5) The spirochaetes remain motile in the pharynx and oesophageal diverticula for several hours but are apparently immobilised in the midgut (Kumm & Turner, 1936).
(6) Large numbers of spirochaetes are found in the area of the polymorph exocytosis of the epidermis.
(7) The major components of the periplasmic flagella of the spirochaete Serpulina (Treponema) hyodysenteriae strain C5 were purified and characterized.
(8) A total of 317 ticks (202 nymphs and 115 adults) from three different sites were examined for the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson et al.
(9) All patients with non-syphilitic spirochaetal infection were uncircumcised.
(10) Bleeding on blunt probing was found to be correlated with a flora dominated by spirochaetes.
(11) These are the first sequences from Borrelia and provide interesting data on the evolutionary relationship between spirochaetes and other species as well as providing potential for spirochaete diagnostics and vaccines.
(12) A disc growth-INHIBITION (GI) test was developed for differentiating Treponema hyodysenteriae from other intestinal spirochaetes.
(13) Overall, these results indicate that quantification of either spirochaetes or black-pigmented Bacteroides species cannot be used reliably to identify or predict disease-active sites.
(14) Spirochaetes heated at 50 degrees C or 60 degrees C did not grow at 35 degrees C in culture medium.
(15) In the paper methods and selective media are suggested and the possibility of mistake so called "pseudo Spirochaetes" for Leptospirae is emphasized.
(16) The spirochaetes were shown to be present in 2 cerebrospinal fluids, 2 synovial fluids and in one brain cyst fluid.
(17) All sites were examined clinically at each of the 7 visits, and the microbiological markers investigated were the % spirochaetes and % black pigmented Bacteroides species in subgingival plaque.
(18) The diagnosis was established by demonstration of Borrelia spirochaetes in the thick blood smear and a Borrelia-index was estimated to calculate the density of the spirochaetemia.
(19) Spirochaetes were identified in material examined by light and electron microscopy, but were not cultured.
(20) In contrast, there was minimal attachment of spirochaetes heated at 60 degrees C. Radiometric studies showed that, with untreated cells, there was incorporation of both 14C-glucose-1-phosphate and 14C-thymidine, whereas with the 50 degrees C-treated spirochaetes only glucose-1-phosphate was incorporated, and with the 60 degrees C-treated spirochates neither radionuclide was incorporated.
