Strep
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Streptococci
Definition:
(pl. ) of Streptococcus
Example Sentences:
(1) A throat swab from one patient grew group A, beta haemolytic streptococci, and in each case unequivocal evidence of seroreaction to streptococcal antigens was present.
(2) Furthermore, high-density catalase-positive--but not catalase-negative--E. coli can survive and multiply in the presence of competitive, peroxide-generating streptococci.
(3) In gram positive organisms, the concordance was lower only for the differentiation between group D streptococci and enterococci.
(4) No cases of rheumatic fever and no acute nephritis appeared in spite of the vigorous immune response to both cellular and extracellular antigens of group A streptococci documented in 50% to 80% of patients, suggesting that strain variation may be a feature of rheumatogenicity as well as nephritogenicity of group A streptococcal pharyngitis.
(5) Specific antibodies against G streptococcal binding proteins prepared in chickens inhibited binding of 125I-Hp to group G and group A streptococci, but not to Actinomyces pyogenes.
(6) We have investigated the bacterial antagonism exerted in oral secretion by alpha-hemolytic streptococci against S. aureus and S. epidermidis.
(7) Seventeen different bacteria were used in the adherence tests; ten strains of alpha-hemolytic streptococci, five from children with infective endocarditis (IE) and five from healthy carriers, two S. aureus, two N. meningitidis, two N. gonorrhoeae and one E. coli.
(8) The results show that some regions of the spaP gene are highly conserved not only in the mutans group of streptococci but also in other nonmutans alpha-hemolytic streptococci.
(9) After 21 days, supragingival and marginal plaque was collected from each subject and assayed for total cultivable microbiota, total facultative anaerobes, facultative Streptococci, Actinomyces, Fusobacterium, Veillonella and Capnocytophaga.
(10) CI-934 had activity superior to that of other quinolones against streptococci by four- to eightfold.
(11) Immunologic deficiency of congenitally athymic rats can lead to a greater infection level with mutans streptococci and increased dental caries.
(12) Several functional properties of MG1, MG2, and PRG have been examined, including their presence in two-hour in vivo enamel pellicle, binding to synthetic hydroxyapatite, lubricating properties, and interactions with oral streptococci.
(13) The median level of haptoglobin types 2-2 and 2-1 was found to be proportional to the agglutination titer of T4 antigen-carrying streptococci (Fig.
(14) Cell walls from M+ and M- protein variants of group A streptococci were examined for their arthritogenicity in female Lewis rats.
(15) This interference is most likely responsible for the difficulties in detecting type 50 streptococci in the tissues of infected mice by immunofluorescent staining.
(16) Ninety six percent of the isolated streptococci were T typable and 13.3% of the strains were M typable.
(17) Isolates of S. pneumoniae may apparently develop penicillin resistance either intrinsically, by intragenetic transfer, or by transfer of penicillin resistance determinants from viridans streptococci.
(18) The agglutination test combined with oral penicillin yielded the lowest expected loss (.50) of QALD for a typical child with a risk of harboring streptococci of .60.
(19) In an attempt to locate the region of fibronectin recognized by LTA and group-A streptococci, fibronectin was cleaved with thermolysin and the fragment mixture absorbed with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes.
(20) Our results indicate that the Rapid Strep system is a valuable aid for species identification of equine isolates of group C streptococci.
